Linode, a cloud provider, has opened its newest data center in Mumbai, India. The new data center is Linode’s tenth worldwide.
Linode’s Mumbai data center offers a more affordable and local alternative to hyperscale providers to the region’s 5 million developers and the organizations.
“We built Linode to democratize cloud computing, to make it more accessible to more people and to do so at price points that make it more affordable than what’s currently available to them,” said Christopher Aker, founder and CEO of Linode.
India is second only to China as the largest and fastest growing cloud services market in the Asia Pacific. India’s public cloud services market was measured at $1.8 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $4.1 billion by 2020.
Linode Mumbai was built using the company’s latest server builds and Next Generation Network (NGN) and connects directly to Linode’s global fiber backbone. Customers in India and the developer community can benefit from the best price-to-performance offering in the industry.
