Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar inaugurated the Central Data Centre, Army Cloud and Digi-Locker for the Indian Army in New Delhi on November 9. Complimenting the Army for initiating such steps as a part of the Digital Army programme he said this can be of great use for faster documentation, information and speedy delivery of services. The Minister emphasised the need to educate and sensitise every person in the force on the advantages of such services and technology upgradation. However, he also said that maintaining, checking and securing the system is equally important.

The facility under the Army Cloud includes a Central Data Centre, a Near Line Data Centre, both in Delhi and a Disaster Recovery site for replication of its critical data along with virtualised servers and storage in an environmentally controlled complex. This is similar to the Meghraj; the Cloud of National Informatics Centre (NIC) and will provide all information technology infrastructure including servers for computing, storage, network and network security equipment centrally, for automation of Indian Army.
