Microsoft launches fourth India cloud region in Hyderabad

Microsoft is a big technology company that makes computer software and internet services.

It just opened a new 'cloud region' in Hyderabad, a large city in India.

A cloud region is a building full of powerful computers that companies use to run their websites and apps.

This is Microsoft's fourth cloud region in India, joining others in Pune, Chennai, and Mumbai.

The opening is part of a huge 20.5 billion US dollar promise Microsoft made to build digital and AI technology in India.

The new facility has three 'availability zones,' so it can keep working even if one part breaks.

It uses a special cooling system that needs no water, which helps Microsoft reach its goal of being 'water positive' by 2030.

Big Indian companies like the Adani Group, HDFC Bank, and Bajaj Finserv are already using it.

Research experts at IDC predict India will spend 45.7 billion US dollars on cloud services by 2030.

This helps Indian companies use artificial intelligence and grow as a technology leader.
