NEW YORK and MUMBAI,
India, Nov. 8, 2017
/PRNewswire/ -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), (BSE: 532540,
NSE: TCS) a leading global IT services, consulting and business
solutions organization, and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), the worldwide
leader in IT and networking, have deployed the Cisco® Application
Centric Infrastructure (Cisco ACI™) architecture for the TCS
Enterprise Cloud Platform.
Cisco ACI for TCS' Enterprise Cloud Platform provides a new,
first-of-its-kind software-defined approach to solve common
customer challenges with unified control of both physical and
virtual environments. With enhanced security based on open
standards and policy-based automation, the solution is designed to
provide greater visibility into the network fabric and the
applications that run on it. This enables enterprise customers who
are operating in a legacy environment to adopt the Cloud through an
easy transformation path by integrating the capability of Cisco ACI
and Openstack (software that controls large pools of compute,
storage, and networking resources throughout a datacenter). This
unique offering provides maximum security of the private Cloud
while utilizing Openstack's core strengths.
As a result, new customer services solutions can be delivered to
the market much more rapidly on the TCS Enterprise Cloud Platform,
delivering increased IT efficiency, reduced operational costs, and
improved scalability for future growth, while optimizing IT staff
time to better service end customers. In addition, TCS Enterprise
Cloud can more efficiently orchestrate multiple hypervisor
workloads across different platforms.
"We are pleased that Tata Consultancy Services, a leading global
IT service provider, has selected Cisco ACI for the TCS Enterprise
Cloud Platform," said Ish Limkakeng, SVP of Data Center Networking,
Cisco. "With Cisco ACI, TCS can more easily deploy and move
application workloads across customer multicloud environments and
accelerate digital business opportunities."
"Enterprises today are increasingly adopting a Hybrid Cloud
strategy and hosting applications in a secure, agile, easy to
deploy and manage IT environment," said Raman Venkatraman, Global Head, Alliances and
Technology Unit, TCS. "Success of this strategy is dependent on the
enterprise's ability to migrate workloads between different Cloud
environments seamlessly, while remaining highly responsive to
market dynamics and compliant with regulations."
"When enterprises are looking to scale up their infrastructure
to address the growing demands of their business users, the
successful demonstration of a Cisco ACI implementation will
encourage other customers to adopt this technology rapidly," added
Dr. Rajesh Srinivasan, Global Head,
Cloud Sales and Solutions, TCS Enterprise Cloud Infrastructure
Business Unit.
By leveraging the Cisco ACI architecture for the TCS Enterprise
Cloud Platform, customers will have a flexible, customizable and
scalable Cloud, providing accelerated time to market and improved
end user experience.
