Tata Consultancy Services has won a contract for establishing and managing the State Data Centre (SDC) for the state of Karnataka. The state-of-the-art SDC will enhance the infrastructure required to consolidate the state-level applications and will be interoperable with the existing infrastructure.
TCS is already associated with Centre for e-Governance in setting up new Secretariat LAN and managing the entire Secretariat LAN of Government of Karnataka for five years.
"IT major like TCS has rightfully emerged as winner in the transparent process bidding to set up the State Data Centre to enhance the infrastructure required for consolidating state-level applications. The new data centre will come up in Vikas Soudha, and our existing data centre will become a Disaster Recovery Centre. We would migrate all the applications from the existing SDC to the new one," said M. N. Vidyashankar, Principal Secretary, e-Governance Department, Government of Karnataka. "E-governance is the only good road to good governance and while technology is expensive, not using technology is even more expensive," he added.
