Digital Connexion Announces First NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre in Chennai

Digital Connexion, a full-spectrum provider of highly connected and scalable data centre, colocation and interconnection solutions, has announced that its MAA10 facility in Ambattur, Chennai has been certified as part of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Centre program. This certification reflects the facility’s advanced capabilities to support accelerated computing workloads required for Artificial Intelligence (AI) training and GPU-intensive computing.

The MAA10 data centre is purpose-built to offer a highly resilient, GPU-optimised environment capable of supporting the most compute-intensive AI training and inference workloads. In line with global operational standards, MAA10 is compliant with ASHRAE W2 thermal guidelines, which ensures stable and efficient cooling in environments with elevated heat loads. The facility supports both air and liquid cooling configurations, enabling flexible deployment of diverse infrastructure from conventional GPU servers to next-generation, high-density systems requiring advanced thermal management. Designed for high-density workloads, the MAA10 data centre meets the rigorous power and cooling demands of today’s most advanced AI infrastructure solutions.

It also features a unique N+2C power architecture, offering an added layer of redundancy that enhances uptime and operational reliability, which are key considerations for organisations deploying AI infrastructure at scale.

“The ability to process and manage data at scale is foundational to successful AI deployments. As AI adoption accelerates across India’s key industries, so does the need for infrastructure that can overcome Data Gravity barriers and support increasingly intensive AI workloads. Our certification as part of the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program strengthens MAA10’s position as a purpose-built, high-performance environment engineered to aggregate, process, and manage large volumes of AI data, empowering enterprises to innovate at scale,” said CR Srinivasan, Chief Executive Officer, Digital Connexion, on the occasion.

As Indian enterprises embed AI more deeply into their operations, the amount of data to be managed continues to grow. With its DGX-Ready data centre certification, MAA10 further strengthens the reach of PlatformDIGITAL®, Digital Realty’s global data centre platform, by providing an AI-optimised environment designed to support the aggregation and management of data-intensive workloads. Indian companies continue to adopt AI into their operations at a rapid pace, as indicated by the Data Gravity Index Report 2.0 that by the end of 2025, Delhi will have generated 12.3k exabytes of data, boosting the need for optimised data management. In today’s highly connected digital landscape, PlatformDIGITAL® will help enterprises more effectively address their Data Gravity challenges and support them in scaling their AI-driven innovation.

MAA10 is TIA-942 Rated 3, confirming the facility’s capability to maintain critical operations even during maintenance activities. Further reinforcing its design principles, the data centre holds an IGBC Platinum rating, reflecting its alignment with the highest benchmarks in sustainability, energy efficiency, and responsible resource management. With dedicated infrastructure engineered to handle dynamic GPU load patterns, MAA10 is positioned to support enterprises developing and deploying data-intensive AI applications in India.
