Wipro launches Boundary Less Data Center solution


Bangalore, London, and East Brunswick, New Jersey, 05 Mar 2015

Wipro (NYSE:WIT), a leading global IT, consulting and business process services company, today announced the launch of a Boundary Less Data Center (BLDC) solution, based on a software-defined data centre architecture, powered by VMware, a leader in cloud infrastructure and business mobility. This solution enables enterprises to be competitive by reducing time to market, driving business agility and scale.

The BLDC offering is based on an innovative IT transformational approach that is workload-centric, software-defined, and hyper-resilient. This helps enterprises to extend the capabilities of their traditional enterprise data centres into a scalable hybrid IT.

BLDC offers transformative analytics to gain insights from enterprise assets and workloads, evaluates IT resiliency and provides a technology blueprint to maximise the business value of IT investments for customers. Wipro's industrialised workload migration approach, coupled with its ServiceNXT, next-generation integrated managed services framework for hybrid IT, makes the transformation journey easy for its customers.

In collaboration with its ecosystem of partners, Wipro will build industrialised repeatable solutions based on the standard reference architectures and cloud blueprints for enterprises and new workloads on the next-generation data centre architecture.

The reference architecture will include virtualised compute, networking and storage utilising VMware vSphere, VMware NSX, VMware Virtual SAN and VMware vRealize Suite.

Wipro currently offers this service from its data centres in the US and Europe, and from its customers' on-premises data centres, with a roadmap to launch this service in emerging geographies later this year. Wipro's customers will have access to run use cases and proofs of concept from the Wipro Centers of Excellence in India and USA.

"Boundary Less Data Center is a new paradigm which helps enterprises accelerate their IT transformation. This offering will enable organisations to scale data centre capabilities beyond the traditional IT boundaries to achieve the right business outcomes, and that is very exciting," said GK Prasanna, Chief Executive, Global Infrastructure Services, Wipro.

"VMware has a strong relationship with Wipro, which spans multiple VMware technologies. Our partnership is further strengthened with Wipro's next-generation services around the Boundary Less Data Center, which is designed to empower customers to experience the agility and flexibility benefits of the software-defined data centre," said Todd Surdey, Vice-President, Strategic Alliances and Emerging Partners, VMware.
