TCS, which is a part of India’s diversified Tata group, said the deal to acquire CRL, also owned by the Tatas, would boost its cloud computing services.

“CRL’s core capabilities in designing and building high performance environments coupled with our strong focus on cloud-based, domain-rich industry platforms makes TCS very relevant to address customers’ growing requirement of high performance computing applications,” said TCS CEO and MD, N Chandrasekaran.
