Data Center Virtualization and Consolidation

Due to the impetus on variabilization of IT, enterprises across the world are making considerable investments in Data Center (DC) virtualization solutions. In addition, due to the consolidation of systems occurring in the industry, there is a growing importance of SAN and NAS based technologies. The challenge is to consolidate resources into fewer centralized segments, improving the ease of systems management.

Wipro is one of Cisco's leading partners in the DC space.

We offer a unique approach for delivering DC transformation solutions and service models that take advantage of the network-as–a-platform. The Unified Computing addresses the needs of a next-generation DC with a consolidated, virtualized and automated data center environment, power efficient computing, proactive management and predictable operations.

Wipro has come up with a predesigned, prefabricated Data Center called as FluidState, which is build based on its model-driven engineering framework for next generation Data Centers. It can be setup in less than a week and is nearly ten times as fast as a conventional data center.

With its deep expertise in the applications space, Wipro has a proven framework for Application Rationalization which significantly enhances the ROI for customers looking at consolidation initiatives. Wipro has been able to deliver savings of 10-30% from current application maintenance spends and reduce complexity by approximately 20-40% through these application rationalization initiatives.
