PEER Networks opens Srinagar hyperscale data center in Kashmir
PEER Networks has launched a new hyperscale data center, PEER IX, in Srinagar, Kashmir, and is planning three more facilities in Noida/Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Mumbai/Hyderabad. These data centers offer carrier-neutral peering, colocation, BGP transit, and CDN/OTT edge hosting services, targeting ISPs, telecom operators, and OTT platforms.
Key Takeaways
- PEER IX is the first named facility: a hyperscale data center in Srinagar, Kashmir, at Shalteng Crossing.
- The site offers carrier-neutral peering, colocation, BGP transit, and CDN/OTT edge hosting.
- PEER Networks lists Tier-2+ power redundancy with diesel gensets and battery backup for the facility.
- The launch page says the network is connected to major IXs in India and globally via dedicated backhaul.
- Three additional sites are planned for Noida/Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Mumbai or Hyderabad.
Why It Matters
PEER IX adds a carrier-neutral point of presence in Srinagar for ISPs, telecom operators, and CDN/OTT platforms that want peering, colocation, and edge hosting in one facility. The broader play is clear in the company’s roadmap: four total sites, with expansion planned for NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai or Hyderabad, which extends its footprint beyond Kashmir. For StreamingMeme readers, the concrete signal to watch is whether PEER Networks turns the planned Noida/Gurugram, Bengaluru, and Mumbai or Hyderabad facilities into live locations and published service details.
