Tata Communications has launched Tata Communications Vayu, the next-generation cloud fabric that allows enterprises to handle the increasing sophistication of AI-enabled, multi-cloud environments.
The platform consolidates infrastructure-as-a-service, platform-as-a-service, AI technologies, cloud security, and connectivity into one single ecosystem. Tata Communications focuses on cost-effectiveness, scalability, and regulatory requirements to provide companies with a nimble, high-performance alternative to traditional cloud architecture.
With a specially designed architecture, Vayu vows to reduce cloud operating costs by as much as 30%, through the use of multi-cloud flexibility, FinOps automation, and pricing models that are transparent. With respect to hyperscale leaders, Tata Communications forecasts that customers stand to gain as much as 25% cost savings.
In addition, the platform provides enterprises with access to on-demand NVIDIA GPUs, eradicating costly hardware investments and speeding up the adoption of AI. Vayu’s AI Studio, with model garden and AI workbench, enables the complete AI model lifecycle, from training to deployment.
In addition to its AI strength, Vayu’s platform-as-a-service layer provides serverless computing, managed databases, and microservices, enabling businesses to simplify application development. The platform further includes API management and low-code development capabilities, enabling both business users and engineers to develop and scale applications seamlessly.
Security and compliance are core to Vayu’s design. The platform has a zero-trust architecture, encryption methods, and compliances with India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Rules 2025, along with regulatory body standards such as MeitY, RBI, SEBI, and IRDAI. It features advanced security features such as data masking and consent management that help enterprises secure sensitive data and comply with the regulatory requirements.
Besides, Vayu provides hybrid and multi-cloud solutions to enable organizations to bring on-premises, private, and public clouds together seamlessly. Financial institutions, government, and retailers with varied regulatory and business needs will be enabled by Vayu’s tailored cloud solutions.
One of the defining characteristics of the platform is its focus on sustainability. Tata Communications intends to incorporate energy-efficient data centers and direct liquid cooling technology to reduce the environmental footprint of high-performance computing. This is part of the company’s overall ESG objectives, offering enterprises a means to lower carbon footprints without compromising performance.
A.S. Lakshminarayanan, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Communications, noted the need for striking a balance between performance, cost, and sustainability in cloud solutions. He characterized Vayu as a strategic foundation that enables enterprises to streamline operations and grow with certainty.
Bhaskar Gorti, Executive Vice President of Cloud and Cybersecurity Services, emphasized the platform’s revolutionary aspect by referring to it as a leap toward cloud innovation that opens business potential rather than constraining it.
As businesses increasingly embrace AI and cloud computing in their operations, Tata Communications Vayu is an innovative solution that is scalable, secure, and sustainable. With its end-to-end approach, the platform will revolutionize cloud strategies for enterprises in the evolving digital landscape.
