Chennai-based SaaS company Zoho has launched its indigenously designed server named Nathu La.

Zoho said the rollout marks a new development in the company’s journey of building a full technology stack from hardware layers to software applications.

The new server was built out of its Nagpur centre, which was set up in 2020 to work on R&D projects such as designing servers.

According to Zoho, in 2023, the Indian government announced import restrictions on compute devices including servers, further highlighting the necessity to develop this technology in the country.

The Nathu La server, based on Intel Xeon 6 Processors, is designed to optimise performance for virtualisation (VM), High Performance Computing (HPC), AI inference, and storage applications.
