To move forward with the Digital Bangladesh vision, the government is building a national data centre at the Kaliakoir Hi-Tech Park in Gazipur. 

The national data centre will become the world’s fifth largest PR4 standard data centre once the whole project complete, said Tanver Ahmed, 
senior executive, business development of DCIcon Ltd, at a green data center summit held in the capital recently. 
Data centre is a facility that centralises an organisation's IT operations and equipment, and where it stores, manages, and disseminates its data. Data centers house a network's most critical systems and are vital to the continuity of daily operations.
Green data centre is basically a concept of optimal level of power loss, electrical carbon emission; utilisation of minimum energy that can not be harmful for the environment. Added Tanver Ahmed.
To build a data centre is costly. A few companies can afford to have their own data centre. Generally, it takes Tk 1-1.5 crore to build a small size data centre. Informed Tanver Ahmed    
Some of the corporate firms of telecom and banking sector in Bangladesh have already developed their data centre to preserve their digital information, said Chief Executive Officer of DCIcon Masud Parvaj at the summit.
During the summit, Masud Parvaj said with sorrow that still textile and Ready-made Garments (RMG) sectors are unaware of the significance of data centre and its benefits.
Tanver Ahmed also told The Independent that  three data centre solution providers are currently serving facilities to the operators by sharing infrastructure. 
These are Colocation Asia, NRB telecom and Colocation widy. Companies with affordable price can rent space, rack and other solution from them.                 
Masud Parvaj said DC Icon will provide the definitive platform for key industry buyers to meet, learn and do business with the most innovative and exciting data centre solution providers on the world.
During the summit, Executive Engineering of Shark Monica Sarker said: “We provide all infrastructure solutions of data centres like; Intelligent Power Distribution Unit (IPDU), Auto Fire Suppression System (AFSS) and Environmental Monitoring System (EMS).”      
Talking about the client references Monica Sarker said: “In telecom sector we provide solutions to Grameenphone and in textile, Beximco and Square are our top clients and in banking and financial sector, we have provided solutions to Bangladesh Bank, Sonali Bank and Agrani Bank.”
