Infosys Launches New Offering to Improve IT
Infrastructure Reliability and Efficiency
Infrastructure testing services to assure business
readiness and optimal IT performance
BANGALORE, India, NEW YORK, LONDON and SYDNEY, July 25, 2012
/PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Infosys,( http://www.infosys.com/pages/index.aspx )
a global leader in consulting and technology, today launched a new
offering for infrastructure testing. The offering comprises a range
of services that span the entire infrastructure life cycle - from
new hardware deployment and integration to migration and
operations. Companies can use these services to comprehensively
test and assure the business readiness and performance of their IT
infrastructure during major changes such as datacenter
consolidation, virtualization, and technology upgrades.
Speaking on the need for such an offering, Rona Shuchat, Director,
Application Development, Testing and Management Services, IDC,
said: "As enterprises are challenged by deployment of increasingly
diverse technologies including virtualization, collaboration and
cloud, there is a growing urgency to validate, streamline and
optimize underlying infrastructure being transformed within the
datacenters. End-to-end infrastructure testing services, with
related program governance, risk assessment, configuration,
security, interface and performance testing will help enterprises
scale up to meet the multi-dimensional complexity of their growing
infrastructure and application portfolios."
Said Chandrashekar Kakal, Senior Vice President and Global head of
Business IT Services, "Infrastructure Testing is an innovation at
the intersection of two of our core offerings - Infrastructure
Management and Testing. This is an excellent example of how we are
innovating across services to help our clients drive greater IT
infrastructure reliability. We are already seeing a positive
response from many clients for this offering and have also started
assisting several organizations across geographies and
industries."
According to various industry estimates, the cost of data center
downtime can range between $80,000 and $500,000 an hour for large
enterprises. Infrastructure Testing from Infosys will significantly
help reduce downtime and resulting costs. For more details, visit
