Wipro launches VDI Solution built on Cisco Technology

Wipro has announced the launch of next-generation end-user computing solution, Wipro Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) that will enable IT organizations to deliver an enhanced and productive end-user experience to any device with reduced costs and improved security. The solution is built on Cisco and NetApp FlexPod infrastructure based on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) technology.
 
Wipro's global computing utility for enterprise clients, iStructure, provides the platform for Wipro VDI as well as the company’s portfolio of XaaS services. This solution is based on the desktop virtualization software from Citrix and VMware that offers better ease of management, continuity, security, compliance and control than traditional physical desktop infrastructures.
 
Pinaki Kar, President & CEO, Wipro Data Center Services, said, "Today’s ever-increasing business needs to reduce IT asset costs, while increasing security and agility is driving the demand for XaaS offerings. Enterprises are looking for tailored, cloud-based solutions such as Wipro hosted VDI.  We are thrilled to be working with Cisco to address these market needs with a truly unique portfolio of solutions."
 
Malay Verma, Vice-President & Global Head for Cisco Business Unit, Wipro, said, "Wipro’s Cisco Business Unit delivers next-generation end-to-end productized industry solutions built on Cisco and partner technologies. Wipro’s hosted VDI solution integrates desktop virtualization with social collaboration, thereby enhancing end-user productivity, IT efficiency and business value for enterprises."
 
This VDI solution can be extended to deliver a complete virtual workspace that includes voice, video, rich media applications, endpoint transformation, and integration of unified communication and collaboration applications.
