With Microsoft setting up three data centres in India, the Redmond (US)-based company is expected to get a leg-up in grabbing a bigger share of the Indian cloud computing business.
Globally, Microsoft has spent about $4.5 billion on setting up 19 data centres, as it accelerates its strategy to be a ‘mobile first, cloud first’ company. In 12 months, the company has expanded such centres from eight countries to 19, including Australia, Japan, China, and India.
