The State Data Center of Government of Karnataka was set up during 2004-05 as a core common technology infrastructure. The State Data Centre (SDC) provides the infrastructure required for consolidating state level applications at a central facility.
Government of India initiated a nationwide scheme (NeGP) under which DIT would provide financial assistance to states for setting up State Data Centre (SDC). This financial assistance covered both CAPEX & OPEX over a period of 5 years. M/S TCS was selected as the DCO through a competitive bidding process. The operation of the KSDC is regularly audited quarterly by a third party auditing firm KPMG and by STQC half yearly.
The Karnataka State Data Center (SDC) hosts 119 applications and 260 servers for various government departments.
