Wipro Intros FluidState Data Centers for SMB

August 16, 2010

Based on its model-driven engineering framework for next-generation Data Centers called FluidState, the FluidState Data Center from Wipro is essentially a predesigned, prefabricated Data Center which can be setup in less than a week - almost 10 times faster than a conventional Data Center.

FluidState framework which stands for Flexible, Lean, Upgradeable, Intelligent Data Center, standardized for accelerated deployment, has been successfully implemented in many of the Data Center projects undertaken by Wipro. With technology powered by Cisco, HP, Hitachi and EMC among others, the FluidState Data Center offers a contemporary modular design, optimized for efficiency, cooling, power and space. Due to its modular design, the DC can be upgraded or downgraded without any downtime. FluidState offers a greener Data Center in terms of a unified computing environment with 24x7 lights out operation, capacity on demand, 4 times higher density per rack, up to 40% lower cooling cost and reduced carbon footprint. The Data Center uses virtualization and highest density in its building blocks.

Commenting on the launch, Achuthan Nair, VP and Business Head, Professional Services Division, Wipro, India, Middle East and Africa, said: "Given the unprecedented growth in data and need for increased computing power in DCs, FluidState offers a simple solution whereby businesses can easily deploy Data Centers in the shortest possible time. We are excited and confident that this innovative, next-generation Data Center model will be the trend-setter in flexibility and adoption of green practices in Data Center design and operations in the days to come.”

Wipro FluidState is available in four models, Nano, Standard, Enterprise and Enterprise Plus, and designed for deployment, both indoors and outdoors. Wipro solution offering includes Hosting, Consulting and design, implementation and integration, management and consolidation. Wipro also offers 24/7 support on all FluidState equipment with capability for remote integration.

Wipro has implemented FluidStateTM Data Center for the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB). Wipro also services some of its own customers using the same FluidStateTM Data Center deployed in its premises.
