Sify’s Chennai and Noida Data Centers Now NVIDIA DGX-Ready Certified for Liquid Cooling
Customers demand more. Enterprises need speed. AI drives both. Today, Sify Infinit Spaces Limited has taken a giant leap forward.
On May 7, 2025, Sify Technologies’ data center arm announced a major milestone. Its state-of-the-art Chennai and Noida data centers have joined the NVIDIA DGX-Ready Data Center program. More importantly, they are now certified for liquid cooling, a key enabler for high-performance AI workloads.
This recognition follows the Rabale facility in Mumbai, which was India’s first data center to receive the certification.
Why This Matters for Enterprise Customers
AI is not just the future—it’s already a critical business enabler. Every industry, from healthcare to finance, is exploring AI’s potential. Yet, to unlock that power, businesses need infrastructure that is fast, secure, and scalable.
That’s where Sify’s certified DGX-Ready data centers come in. These facilities meet the strict standards set by NVIDIA, a global leader in accelerated computing.
By meeting these benchmarks, Sify ensures its data centers can:
- Handle densely packed AI systems
- Support up to 200 KW per rack
- Comply with ASHRAE’s 30-year ambient temperature guidelines
- Deliver reliable, efficient cooling via liquid systems
As a result, enterprise customers can now confidently deploy complex AI workloads in Sify’s Chennai and Noida facilities.
Building for Tomorrow, Today
According to Sharad Agarwal, CEO of Sify Infinit Spaces Limited, this development reflects a long-term vision.
“Our Chennai 02-Siruseri and Noida 02 data centers are now NVIDIA certified,” said Agarwal.
“Together with our Rabale facility, we are the first provider in India to join this elite program.”
He added that this certification showcases Sify’s commitment to resilient, scalable, and future-ready infrastructure.
“As AI workloads grow,” Agarwal explained, “our certified facilities provide the confidence businesses need. We are building the digital foundation for the AI-powered future.”
NVIDIA’s Perspective: Setting the Global Standard
Tony Paikeday, Senior Director, AI Systems at NVIDIA, emphasized the growing role of AI in daily operations.
“AI is now a fundamental pillar of business operations,” Paikeday noted.
“That shift demands data centers purpose-built for next-generation workloads.”
With Sify’s newly certified sites, Indian enterprises can now access world-class AI infrastructure within the country. That proximity reduces latency, boosts compliance, and accelerates deployment.
In essence, NVIDIA’s endorsement serves as a quality assurance stamp for enterprise customers who want to go all-in on AI.
What Is NVIDIA DGX-Ready Certification?
The DGX-Ready Data Center certification is not just a label. It’s a rigorous validation process.
Facilities must demonstrate:
- Advanced power and cooling capabilities
- Adequate network bandwidth
- Tight security protocols
- Scalable architecture that fits AI deployment models
NVIDIA DGX systems power both AI training and inference tasks. These systems demand high throughput and exceptional cooling. Only a few data centers globally meet these demands.
Now, Sify’s Chennai and Noida centers proudly join that list.
Why Liquid Cooling Matters More Than Ever
Traditional cooling methods, like air, have their limits. With AI workloads, systems generate much more heat per square foot.
Liquid cooling offers a smarter alternative. It:
- Absorbs and dissipates heat faster
- Reduces energy consumption
- Enables higher rack densities
- Enhances system reliability and lifespan
By integrating liquid cooling, Sify makes its facilities more sustainable and more efficient, aligning with global environmental standards.
Enhancing Customer Experience at Every Level
Beyond technical features, this milestone directly improves the customer experience.
Here’s how:
- Speed to Innovation: Customers can spin up powerful AI environments much faster.
- Reduced Risk: Certified cooling systems reduce downtime and hardware failures.
- Operational Efficiency: Enterprises can optimize power usage and reduce their carbon footprint.
- Future Proofing: Customers no longer worry about scaling—Sify’s infrastructure grows with them.
- Local Compliance: With local facilities, customers avoid cross-border data compliance issues.
From CIOs to data engineers, this change translates into greater peace of mind, higher productivity, and faster time-to-value.
