 "NIIT Technologies, Hitachi Information Systems To Offer Cloud Services")
IT solutions provider NIIT Technologies has announced its partnership with Hitachi Information Systems, a provider of IT infrastructure services in Japan, to offer services in cloud computing.
Cloud computing is an emerging megatrend, which refers to standardised IT capability delivered via the Internet in a pay-per-use and self-service manner. NIIT Technologies, pursuing its non-linear services model of business, is an early entrant in this space. Through this partnership, NIIT Technologies and Hitachi Information Systems will provide value based on the strengths of both companies.
“Hitachi with its reliable and scalable infrastructure would own the cloud, while NIIT Technologies will harness its competencies and process capability in Remote Infrastructure Managed Services to operate the cloud,” said Arvind Thakur, CEO, NIIT Technologies.
With cloud computing gaining impetus, both companies will be able to offer a complete portfolio of services around the cloud infrastructure to cater to the changing IT landscape.
“The IT business experience of NIIT Technologies in global markets and Hitachi Information system’s data centre design and operational experience in the Japanese market over many years are now united. This union will be used to provide advanced IT services in Asia,” said Iwao Hara, president and CEO, Hitachi Information Systems.
To begin with, Hitachi Information Systems would leverage NIIT Technologies’ data centre in Bangkok and create the first hub outside Japan, networked to their existing infrastructure. Drawing on the benefits of scale, shared infrastructure and standard applications, this partnership will drive down costs while increasing the speed and agility of deploying applications.
The operations are expected to begin by the first quarter of the next fiscal.
