Intel to focus on cloud and e-commerce sectors in India

In line with the business direction adopted by Intel globally, Intel India has introduced its focus on offering Indian enterprises technology based on Software Defined Infrastructure (SDI). The company is providing x86 platform for software defined data center solutions to its customers in the country, including the Intel Xeon E5 2600v4 family of processors with Intel Resource Director Technology. The company will strategically focus on e-commerce and cloud-based industries, through SDI. According to Srinivas Tadigadapa, Director of Enterprise Solutions, Intel South Asia, “In India, changing dynamics, such as the growing number of mobile consumers and workforces, rise of pervasive analytics, and rapid innovation across industries have pressured businesses to move even faster for staying ahead or simply, staying alive.” “Today, both cloud service providers and enterprises are looking at SDI as it would allow businesses to adopt new type of cloud easier and faster. India is a budding ground for startups, and most of these ‘cloud born’ start-ups prefer to hire software based services (xAAS). For enterprises, the need is different. To be able to keep pace, they must evolve to an agile infrastructure that allows businesses to remain viable – either expanding the use of public cloud, deploying their own private cloud, or both. The result is pent-up demand for software-defined infrastructure. Intel is investing to mature SDI solutions and provide a faster path for businesses of all sizes to reap the benefits of the cloud,” he added. Additionally, Intel has established collaborations with hardware and software vendors in India to create an ecosystem that can enable enterprises to efficiently deploy Intel’s enterprise portfolio, and benefit from its capabilities. Dell will offer product and solutions based on Intel Xeon E5 2600v4 processors to enterprise customers, targeting at the traditional enterprise sector.
