Zoho Corp has unveiled an indigenously designed server platform, marking the software-as-a-service company’s entry into hardware development, as it seeks to reduce infrastructure costs, improve energy efficiency and strengthen technological self-reliance amid soaring global demand for compute resources.
The server, named Nathu La, has been designed over five years by a team based in Nagpur and is currently being deployed in Zoho's own data centres. The company said the platform delivers 12-18% lower power consumption and 20-30% lower total cost of ownership compared with conventional server deployments.
