Apart from the government data, we will also host private data in a limited scale as necessity of data storage is being increased, added Palak.

Data center is used for any organization to storage, processing or distribution of large amount of data, he added.
Tier III data center which is already situated in Sher-e-Bangla Nagor in the capital is not sufficient enough to store all types of government information. Now, Tier IV Data Centre
will be able to store all required government confidential
information.
