Is It Worth Starting a Data Center Near Coimbatore? I will not promote
Hi everyone, I’m considering starting a small data center (20 racks) near Coimbatore since I already own land. Before I invest, I’d love some insights from people in the industry. My Plan • 20 racks, 1U/2U servers • Services: Colocation, private cloud hosting, managed IT • Target clients: Startups, SMEs, enterprises • Location advantage: Lower real estate & power costs vs. Chennai/Bangalore Questions ❓ How much does it typically cost to set up a 20-rack data center? ❓ What are the biggest challenges in running a small data center in India? ❓ Is there demand for private cloud & colocation services outside major metros? ❓ How long does it take to break even? ❓ Should I focus on niche markets (e.g., AI compute, banking, government)? ❓ Would it be smarter to lease space in an existing data center instead? Looking forward to any advice or experience you can share! Would you invest in this business? I will not promote5
