Wipro Infotech Forays Into Data Centre Space

Wipro Infotech, a provider of IT and business transformation services, has announced the launch of its Enterprise Data Centres. This new initiative, which complements the existing IT service offerings, provides end-to-end Data Centre Lifecycle Management services to enterprise customers. The first data centre at Mysore is completely sold out while the commissioning of the data centre in Greater Noida is currently underway and likely to be launched soon. The third data centre at Pune is being commissioned to accommodate more customers.

The Wipro Enterprise Data Centres (WEDC) would also be the platform for launching Wipro’s cloud computing services for the India and Middle East Markets, for customers to avail services on a pay-per-use model. Both Data Centre Life Cycle Management services and Cloud Computing services will offer a high level of flexibility to customers with respect to service delivery and costs.

Anand Sankaran, senior vice president and business head, India and Middle East, Wipro, said, “Wipro has been addressing the IT needs of customers for over two decades now. To complete our portfolio of offerings, we felt the need to offer best-in-class data centres as well, which resulted in the launch of Wipro Enterprise Data Centres. Enterprise customers today are seeking services beyond simple hosting and co-location, and this is a very strategic move by us and positions us uniquely to cater to the lifecycle needs of enterprises as a single face.”

These Tier III WEDCs provide a platform to offer complete Data Centre Lifecycle Management services to customers. These services comprise solution design, implementation, co-location and management of the complete IT infrastructure.

IT infrastructure and applications that are deployed at WEDCs will be managed from Wipro’s Global Service Management Center (GSMC) in Mysore. This service will enable enterprise customers to maintain their strategic focus while improving their operational efficiencies.

Further, in keeping with its commitment to ecological sustainability, Wipro has deployed green technologies at each of these centres to help both customers and Wipro reap the benefits of energy efficiency and savings.

Wipro plans to achieve a pan-India presence for its data centres and expand this service to offer more value-added services to clients in the days to come.
