Bangalore: In an attempt to accelerate the adoption of virtualization technology in India, Microsoft India and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) have come together to establish a virtualization Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Chennai.
The CoE will help the customers experience the benefits of virtualization. "Virtualization is one of the most disruptive technologies in the world today. Though there is adequate knowledge on the benefits of virtualization - only five percent of the world's servers are virtualized. There is a clear gap between awareness and adoption of this technology," said Rajan Anandan, Managing Director of Microsoft India. "Through this CoE, we will address this crucial market need and help customers land the benefits of virtualization technology in accordance with their business requirements," added Anandan.
The Microsoft-TCS virtualization CoE will try to deliver a heightened user experience that will help customers demystify virtualization. "The CoE is an initiative aimed at enabling our customers rapidly realize the advantages of this revolutionary technology. Based on virtualization solutions from Microsoft the CoE will leverage technologies that are best suited to help our customers stay ahead in today's competitive market environment," said PR Krishnan, Vice President and Global Head of IT Infrastructure Services at TCS. The CoE will leverage Microsoft technologies such as Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V and System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to showcase virtualization scenarios to customers.
