Tecnotree, a global digital platform and services leader for AI,
5G, and cloud-native technologies, announced its partnership with
people+ai, an initiative of the non-profit EkStep Foundation, on
joining the Open Cloud Compute (OCC) project.
OCC comprises of an interconnected network of micro data
centres, and based on this model India requires approximately
10,000 micro data centres to bolster its compute power
infrastructure. The network would bring compute capabilities closer
to the end users, enabling faster processing, lower latency, and
stronger data sovereignty. Tecnotree is partnering with the OCC
initiative for shaping the future of AI in India, by implementing
an API abstraction layer aligned with telecom standards. The
collaboration aims to build a one-stop shop for AI, Cloud, and 5G
services, offering a comprehensive solution to meet evolving
industry needs.
The partnership aims to enhance India’s compute ecosystem by
creating a network of providers offering accessible and customized
compute resources. The platform shares a collective vision of
bringing ecosystems together across the world, for the future
common standards and capabilities for AI, Cloud Infrastructure,
Sustainability, Trusted AI, Cloud Compute, and SDNs.
In addition to Tecnotree, various other technology providers are
collaborating to meet increasing compute requirements. Other
companies participating include industry stalwarts such as Advanced
Micro Devices (AMD), Oracle, Dell Technologies, Tata
Communications, IBM, and more. These partner organisations will act
as providers in this compute stack or customers who have a growing
need for compute.
Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani who co-founded EkStep
Foundation held a closed-door session with representatives of more
than 20 organisations on doing the groundwork to create a compute
ecosystem in India, important for the creation of a single and open
interface for providers and customers of computing
infrastructure.
Nilekani said, “India’s approach to building technology at scale
is unique. We have successfully unbundled the building blocks to
create population-scale digital public infrastructure for identity,
payments, and education. We see that India’s ideas for technology
are being recognised globally. I believe it is now time to rebundle
and make AI work to empower every individual and identify AI use
cases unique to India. AI will help reduce barriers and personalise
at scale.”
Prianca Ravichander, Tecnotree CMO, said, “This initiative by
OCC not only enhances India’s compute ecosystem but also fosters
global collaboration in establishing common standards for AI and
Cloud Infrastructure. Together with other industry leaders we are
dedicated to meeting the growing compute requirements. Tecnotree is
partnering with OCC to make this initiative a reality.
We are dedicated to enabling the benefits of Cloud and AI
through our digital products and services for telecom operators
worldwide. We aim to drive forward AI and Cloud standardization
globally, laying the groundwork for a more cohesive ecosystem.
Together, we are laying the foundations that are not only
technologically advanced but also inclusive and sustainable,
propelling us towards a digitally inclusive future”.
