Real estate players eye Edge Data centres; infra-ready Tier 2 Cities gains traction

The emergence of edge data centres has attracted real estate players due to the need for lower latency, real-time analysis, enhanced app performance, and business agility.

By definition, Edge Data Centers are small, localised data processing facilities situated close to devices and end users. These centers help in enhancing performance and efficiency for real-time applications.

Executives of real estate firms say that emerging hubs like Faridabad among many tier 2 cities are gaining attention for their strategic connectivity and infrastructure readiness.

At the same time, Tier 2 cities with abundant and affordable land are being eyed for new developments, particularly for edge data centres where proximity to local users is critical, executives say.
