Data Center for country should be like a wault wherein all precious information is kept. This must be heavily guarded and only authorised people who understand the value of treasered information should be given access. Especially access should be given to highly knowledgeable people. All accesses should be done thru three level authentication system and should be asked for a level of authentication every 5 minutes. K

Some more suggestions - 1. Locally sourced building material should be encouraged if not imposed. 2. Data center technician skill training and education provision as a part of this policy or in lieu of it should be made available. 3. Security aspect - physical and technological - should be on top priority. Any single incident will hamper future growth. 4. Cloud technologies upskilling opportunities could be provisioned under the policy. 5. Cost benefit to local app host in data center

Data center is now a basic need for every state in India. But we have seen that State Data Centers are outsourcing a third party to manage their work i.e managed by Pvt company. My suggestion is that we should put our IT employee from IT Directorate or Department with them to learn and enhance our own data center with our own people so that in future we could rely on state IT department for flawless e service delivery and also produced more resource person at state.

Data center should be located inside only in india. Allow authenticated and trusted websites and applications. Data center will be located in tier 2 and tier 3 cities and also in villages because it increases the internet speed of regions.

Dear Sir/Madam, A very appropriate step towards building the growing tech space of data centers/park. A few suggestions would be - 1. Sustainable and renewable energy source - data center/park location should be apt to utilize maximum renewable energy like solar and built on space without causing harm to natural ecosystem. 2. Non agri land usage - location of center or park should not be on agricultural land or cultivable land. 3. Carbon neutral or low carbon emissions design.
