New Delhi, American technology company Cisco has launched Meraki India Region, a country-specific cloud service, under its global Meraki platform for data privacy and localization.

"The Meraki India region is hosted by a cloud service provider integrated by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India," Cisco said in a statement.

Meraki India Region will enable businesses across the country to adopt a cloud-first transformation while helping customers meet their local data storage and privacy needs, he added.

Meraki offers comprehensive networking (wired, wireless, SD-WAN), secure networking, and IoT (sensors) capabilities that provide customers with centralized visibility and control, unified wired and wireless network management, and reduced operating expenses. It has more than 810,000 customers around the world.

"As enterprises continue to embrace a cloud-first environment, they are looking for a comprehensive network platform that delivers agility, flexibility and secure access to drive operational efficiency and succeed in an interconnected world. With the launch of the region of Meraki India, we aim to do just that," said Daisy Chittilapilly, President, Cisco India and SAARC.

Cisco highlighted its 2024 Data Privacy Benchmark study, which revealed that 97 percent of organizations in India believe data is inherently more secure when stored within their own country or region, and 94 percent trust that Global providers will protect your data more effectively than local providers.

"Meraki India region helps our customers meet their local data storage needs with advanced security features such as penetration testing and daily vulnerability scans, continuing the momentum towards digital transformation across the country," Lawrence said.
