A 5 June fire at a New Delhi data centre used by global cloud providers has caused fears of wide-ranging data loss for customers and is contributing to ongoing disruption of Google Cloud services in the country, Reuters reported.
The fire at the STT Global Data Centres India facility, owned by Singapore’s ST Telemedia and India’s Tata Communications, caused “extensive damage” that has made data recovery difficult, Tata unit Novamesh told cloud customer Matrix Cellular in a 15 June letter, the report said.
The fire was “so severe that it caused extensive damage” and presents “significant challenges” in recovering data and systems, the letter from Novamesh said.
