CtrlS Datacenter, Asia’s largest provider of tier 4 hyperscale data centers and colocation services, has appointed Dillip Guru as its senior vice president of international data center expansion and renewable energy and edge strategy. At CtrlS, he will be responsible for the strategic direction of the company’s efforts to expand into international markets.
An industry veteran with 27 years of experience, Dillip joins CtrlS from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and held the role of Head of Energy Strategy for Asia Pacific in Singapore. Before joining Amazon, he held various management positions at General Electric, Vestas and Grid Corporation of India. Dillip is a graduate student in management from the National University of Singapore and holds a degree in electrical engineering from NIT Rourkela.
Sridhar Pinnapureddy, founder and CEO of CtrlS, said: “Dillip will leverage his expertise and experience to play a key role in expanding our global footprint, innovating energy strategies and extending our leadership position.”
According to Gartner, 75% of corporate data is created and processed at the edge. With the deployment of 5G, IoT, video streaming, AR/VR applications, consumers outside of Tier 1 cities will seek faster access to applications, websites, OTT content, and more. Conventional energy sources contribute to CO2 emissions, so clean energy must be integrated as part of CtrlS’s business strategy to ensure that its carbon footprint is eliminated. CtrlS plans to deploy around 500 edge data centers in tier 2 and tier 3 cities in India and expand its global footprint by integrating clean energy.
Guru said: “I am delighted to see the tremendous amount of work CtrlS has done through 80 innovations in energy efficiency and sustainability. The company has a strong focus on clean energy, edge and sustainability. It is an honor and a privilege to be a part of CtrlS – This is a dream company working in the data center industry.”
