IGATE deploys VMware vCloud suite to build private cloud

IGATE has implemented VMware vCloud Suite to build a private cloud for its Center of Excellence (CoE) laboratory in Bangalore. VMware vCloud Suite will provide the management, automation, and orchestration required for the private cloud to help IGATE accelerate the delivery of new products and services to its large customer base in Europe and the United States.

VMware vCloud Suite will enable IGATE to deliver complete application environments on top of its existing infrastructure, and provide automation and management capabilities to support software development lifecycles.

IGATE has also chosen to deploy VMware NSX – the network virtualization platform for the software-defined data centre, to transform the economics of network and security operations. “The VMware solution will help the IGATE team reduce time to access infrastructure resources from weeks to minutes, boost network security, and cut network admin costs by an estimated 35 percent,” the company said.

“We have built a private cloud, powered by VMware vCloud Suite, to deliver Infrastructure-as-a-Service. VMware vCloud Suite has also enabled us to develop customised solutions for our customers that span multiple platforms and technologies. This will help their businesses become more agile and adaptable to changing market dynamics. VMware will play a key role in our IT strategy as we can leverage their technologies to perform customisation and automation to enable hybrid cloud models,” said Vijay Kumar Srivastava, Associate Director-IMS at IGATE.
