Enterprise cloud computing vendor Nutanix and Wipro Limited, a global IT, consulting and business process services company, have launched Wipro’s Digital Database Services (DDS) powered by Nutanix Era and Nutanix HCI software.
According to the two vendors, the latest offering will enable enterprises to efficiently manage databases optimising time and effort of IT teams.
As the data landscape shifts, businesses face constant pressure for innovation resulting in strain on the company’s IT departments. With legacy infrastructures, databases can be one of the components hindering time to value and linear scalability, preventing rapid scaling of operations such as transaction processing in which business can lose valuable transactions or insights that directly impact their revenue or decision-making capabilities.
Wipro’s DDS has been built on Nutanix solutions for databases including Nutanix HCI software and Nutanix Era, allowing enterprises and users to provision and manage databases just-in-time, without prior knowledge of hardware, database software and associated configurations.
Satish Yadavalli, vice president, Cloud and Infrastructure Services, Wipro Limited said: “Wipro’s joint offering with Nutanix brings agility, speed and flexibility for core and digital applications delivered as a service.”
Yadavalli explained that Wipro’s DDS powered by Nutanix HCI platform and Era delivers end-to-end services from transition, modernisation, continuous deployment and automated lifecycle management operations of enterprise, open source and NoSql databases.
“Integrations are simplified as developers and application owners have access to a repository of customised services APIs. With this joint solution, we are confident of helping our joint customers optimise the Database resources and license cost,” he said.
The DDS offering from Wipro, powered by Nutanix, empowers customers to consolidate their database workloads onto a shared infrastructure to manage database sprawl.
Bala Kuchibhotla, vice president and general manager, Nutanix Era and Business Critical Apps, Nutanix said: “Legacy database management is traditionally complex and requires massive amounts of resources from database administrators, taking away time they could be spending on more critical initiatives.”
Kuchibhotla pointed out that with data volumes growing exponentially year-over-year, provisioning, protection, patching, performance and copy data management operations are becoming even more tedious and expensive.
“Our partnership with Wipro, will help develop the efficient Database-as-a-Service solutions for our customers to further our mission of enabling any organisation to embrace the power of the cloud,” he said.
