TCS Launches Enterprise Cloud Platform Powered by Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Cisco 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.
