RBI's Odisha Data Haven: Shielding Finance from Threats
22 Feb
Summary
- RBI established a high-security data centre in Odisha for financial infrastructure.
- The Odisha data centre is safe from cross-border threats and seismic risks.
- This facility strengthens continuity of core systems and safeguards financial data.
The Reserve Bank of India has inaugurated a new high-security data centre in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. This facility is strategically situated away from potential cross-border threats and high seismic-risk areas, bolstering the security of critical financial infrastructure. The greenfield campus is designed to house essential computing systems that support the RBI's currency management, payment systems, and regulatory data functions. Its location offers a strategic advantage by being distant from India's western and northern borders and outside the country's most vulnerable seismic zones. This move enhances the safety and continuity framework for systems underpinning national finance.
