Tata Communications has launched a cloud fabric for enterprise IT.

Called Vayu, it has a unified, purpose-driven architecture to tackle rising cloud costs, multi-cloud complexities and AI infrastructure demands, helping businesses navigate the intelligent enterprise era.

Built for ease, control and the future, the cloud fabric seamlessly integrates IaaS, PaaS, AI platform, security, cloud connectivity and professional services into a single, intelligent ecosystem. This eliminates management complexity, reduces operational costs and ensures enterprises can scale effortlessly without vendor lock-in.

With a transparent pricing model, built-in fin-ops automation and multi-cloud flexibility, it delivers up to 30% cost savings while optimising workload performance. Compared with large cloud service providers, it is said to reduce costs by 15 to 25%, with no data egress charges or hidden fees.

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, the Vayu AI cloud provides on-demand access to high-performance Nvidia GPUs, eliminating costly infrastructure investments and enabling seamless AI model training, fine-tuning and deployment at scale. It also features an AI studio including an AI workbench, model garden and responsible AI frameworks to accelerate innovation. Additionally, integrated generative AI and AI ops automate operations and enhance intelligent monitoring, while AI-driven dev-ops tools and training platforms empower businesses to deploy AI efficiently, reducing complexity and controlling costs.

Vayu’s PaaS services further simplify application deployment with serverless computing, auto scaling and managed databases. Its AI and ML platform streamlines model training and deployment, while built-in API management, microservices and integrated dev-ops tools automate workflows, enabling enterprises to innovate rapidly without infrastructure management burdens.

Unlike traditional cloud options that require managing multiple vendors and platforms, Vayu offers a fully integrated cloud ecosystem spanning compute, storage, AI, security and cloud connectivity. Whether enterprises need high-performance virtual machines, scalable storage or AI-powered automation, it delivers a seamless platform to build, deploy and manage workloads. 

Recognising that no two businesses are alike, Tata collaborates with enterprises to design purpose-built cloud strategies that balance public, private and on-premises deployments. From government to financial services to retail, Vayu ensures cloud infrastructure aligns with industry-specific requirements and long-term growth aspirations. 

The fabric guarantees seamless data accessibility across different environments – on-premises, in the cloud or at the edge – while maintaining data integrity throughout its lifecycle. Featuring precise access controls, data masking, consent management and protection of personal information, the framework safeguards sensitive enterprise data, offering businesses peace of mind.

Vayu also features a zero-trust security framework, identity and access controls, and compliance with key regulations, including the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules 2025, RBI, SEBI, IRDAI, and the Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY). Enterprises can operate confidently, knowing their data are encrypted both at rest and in transit, protected against evolving cyber threats.

Finally, in an era where sustainability is a business imperative, Vayu (www.tatacommunications.com/solutions/cloud-vayu) leads with carbon-neutral cloud options and energy-efficient data centres. Tata plans to introduce direct liquid cooling, a technology optimising heat management for high-performance computing, allowing enterprises to achieve ESG goals while benefitting from better cloud performance.

“As the digital era accelerates, the need for enterprise cloud and AI that balance performance, cost and sustainability has never been greater,” said AS Lakshminarayanan, CEO of Tata Communications. “Vayu is more than a product, it will pioneer a new way forward for businesses to integrate, uncomplicate and innovate.”

Bhaskar Gorti, executive vice president at Tata Communications (www.tatacommunications.com), added: “Vayu signifies a transformational shift. Enterprises today need more than just basic cloud services, and our latest offering is the beginning of a new chapter in cloud evolution, one where technology is no longer an obstacle but an enabler of limitless possibilities.”
