Commenting on the funding, AS Rajgopal, MD and CEO of NxtGen, said, “Our centrally managed, hybrid data center solutions offer customers reliable, secure and efficient IT infrastructure that helps companies optimize their central IT platforms. This investment from Intel Capital will be used to complete the large high density data centre facility coming up in Bangalore, which we expect to be operational by March 2014, and for further development of on-premise data centres.
“In the first year, the growth rate was good as we stared from zero,” he added.
