Why do the Indian Defence Forces Need Edge Data Centers?
As warfare gets increasingly dominated by technology, the warzone will be a contestation of data access, data security, and data capacity. Traditional, centralized data centers are too vulnerable, away from the battlefield, and severely limited in responsiveness. The answer lies in Edge Computing & Edge Data Centers (EDCs), which overcome these limitations by bringing computing power directly to the forward edge of the battlefield. Positioned near the point of data generation, EDCs ensure ultra-low latency, localized processing, and operational autonomy. They enable the Indian Defence Forces to make mission-critical decisions in real-time, store and recall vast amounts of data, and ensure their security and vulnerability without relying on remote cloud infrastructure or internet access.

Deployment-Ready Solutions for the Tactical Battle Area (TBA)
DC&T’s Edge Data Centers are designed for dynamic, mission-critical environments in the TBA to acquire real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), plan and execute offensive and defensive maneuvers, and ensure secure communications. Standardized, container-based EDCs, which are compact, scalable, easily deployable in the field or on the move, and fully secure, can be custom-built to meet the technological needs of the modern battlefield. Co-located with Command centers or communication hubs, these EDCs can be integrated with private 5G closed-loop networks and securely process battlefield data from UAVs, wearables, and IoT devices, on-site, with near-zero latency and zero external reliance.
How DC&T Enables
Defence-Operated Edge Infrastructure
DC&T’s Edge Data Center is designed to be fully operational in the field, utilizing trusted OEM systems selected for their reliability, maintainability, and mission readiness. We manage all technical support and AMC services to ensure smooth, uninterrupted performance. Defence personnel receive on-site training for full operational control from day one. Each unit is equipped with layered security systems, including biometric access, encrypted data storage, and network isolation, ensuring safe and autonomous operation in any environment. Whether the mission requires custom software or specific storage formats, our team enables rapid integration tailored to the end-user’s requirements.
DC&T's Philosophy to Secure,
Sovereign and Indigenous EDCs
We fully comply with the Government of India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023. Our approach ensures that network security and data sovereignty remain top priorities. For added protection, we do not disclose OEM names or equipment models, reinforcing cybersecurity through obscurity.
Our EDCs are built using globally recognized, neutral OEMs to ensure trust and reliability. We maintain vendor independence to avoid lock-ins and promote flexibility. By adhering to global standards and protocols, our systems support seamless integration and interoperability across platforms.
We strictly use indigenous equipment to the extent possible, or source components from friendly foreign countries only. This eliminates any remote risk to data security and is in keeping with Indian laws. Our supply chains are secure, responsive and scalable in any kind of emergency. We are pioneers in the Data Center revolution in India and proudly look forward to serving the needs of our Defence Forces.
At DC&T, we drive the future by empowering edge infrastructure with innovative, sustainable and high-performance solutions tailored to meet evolving industry demands.
