Hyderabad: Web Werks, a data center and cloud services company, has acquired a standalone building in Hyderabad that will be converted into its first data center in the commercial business district of the city. The company will invest over Rs 500 crore towards this data center and will employ about 100 people by the end of 2022, sources told Telangana Today.
