DataSynapse and Capgemini Provide Virtualization Solutions to Outsourcing Customers

The Capgemini Outsourcing UK Division is reportedly using DataSynapse’s GridServer and FabricServer application virtualization technologies. Capgemini will use the solution to develop offerings that can address the dynamic needs of its customers and to drive innovation in the rapidly growing virtualization market.

 

Leveraging the alliance with DataSynapse, Capgemini outsourcing customers will enjoy extensive and rapid benefits across application and infrastructure environments, including improved resiliency, application performance and reduced costs while guaranteeing application SLAs and improving time to market.

 

IDC (News - Alert) predicts that the market for virtualization services will grow from $5.5 billion in 2006 to $11.7 billion in 2011. Capgemini Outsourcing Services is focused on helping organizations evolve their green technology efforts by enabling clients to dynamically allocate, manage and control resources. Capgemini will shut down resources that aren’t needed and use less hardware to meet SLA performance targets. This will save and reduce energy use and expenditure.

 

Karl Deacon, CTO, Capgemini Outsourcing UK said that the addition of DataSynapse’s application virtualization technology allows them to extend and complete their virtualization offerings and round out their overall solution stack.

 

“As one of the few companies leading in the area of application virtualization, coupled with a comfortable match of collaborative culture and approach, DataSynapse was the clear choice to help accelerate our business by offering new, innovative ways to support our clients’ business challenges,” said Deacon in a statement.

 

Both DataSynapse and Capgemini intend to extend the benefits of this latest virtualization solution to a range of joint customers, spanning the globe in the coming year.

 

Alun Baker, senior vice president and managing director for EMEA at DataSynapse said that by incorporating DataSynapse’s application virtualization technologies with Capgemini’s skills in delivering exceptional innovation and architectural thought leadership, Capgemini is delivering unprecedented value to its customers.

 

Baker believes that GridServer and FabricServer help to satisfy user demand to better respond to business challenges, improving service quality, reducing operating expenses and creating new revenue streams.
