CM launches Microsoft India’s cloud services


 MUMBAI: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday launched Microsoft India's local cloud services (LCS) from the company's state-of-the-art data centres in Mumbai, Pune and Chennai.

Fadnavis said the state would host a range of digital services on Microsoft's local cloud, including citizen services, applications and other people-oriented government initiatives to enhance economic productivity, prosperity and overall efficiency in governance to meet the objective of digital Maharashtra. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had assured commercial cloud services in India by the year-end, but practically launched it on Tuesday, ahead of the deadline.

These services accelerate digital transformation, handle a wide range of data and help create speedy and innovative applications. Billing services and government schemes will get faster and easier in terms of accessibility and delivery. Cloud-computing with data storage and analytics offers convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of resources and provides users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data with third-party data centres.

Bhaskar Pramanik, chairman, Microsoft India, said "Microsoft Cloud in India will transform the way computing is done in the country. The hyper-scale cloud will empower governments, businesses and users with better computing power to support their workloads."

Facilities such as digital lockers to safely store soft copies of property, education and personal documents that make digital identity widely applicable and ensure quick service are some of the objectives of the LCS, besides academic, business and professional usage.

"Storing large amounts of data or accessing a bigger set of data with proper analysis will get cheaper and faster. Cheaper servers can thus be hired locally to offer better speed to entrepreneurs, students and corporates with accuracy, security and transparency," said a senior official from the state's IT department. Earlier, such data storage facilities and servers were only available abroad.
