Satyam is currently getting 50 per cent of its revenues from corporate clientele, providing them Internet, Intranet, virtual private network solutions. To complete the circle, it plans to offer a bouquet of services on the web hosting front. The client would have options of co-sharing server space with others for which payment would include power and back-up services, take up an exclusive server on lease, or the client could put up its own server asking Satyam to do the maintenance, or have its own server and manpower maintaining it in the Satyam premises just paying for space.This kind of flexibility is expected to bring in more and more new business increasing Satyam's revenues.

Satyam Infoway's president E:Business N Shekar said that the location of the server within the country was perceived to be very advantageous. Initially there would be some 100 servers, which would be increased/ upgraded upon need. Satyam would be ready to take care of the requirements of even 2000 clientele if need be. The location of a server within the country would allow for faster access for domestic users who use it within the nation's confines. Though server charges would be higher than those levied by US players, customers here would still accept the services as it provided for greater comfort levels by virtue of being closer.

Server charges was bound to be higher initially on account of lower volumes and high import duty structures for the equipment, Shekar said.

Satyam is also planning to get more international private leased circuits (IPLCs) from a US company to temporarily get over the gateway constraints. These are currently available in Mumbai and Delhi and would be available in five more cities in the next 15 days.
