3i Infotech announces expansion plans

Mumbai-based 3i Infotech has unveiled its expansion
plans in Chennai. The company announced the launch of its first international
datacentre (IDC), which will offer managed hosting services for application and
disaster recovery solutions. The company also announced the launch of its remote
IT infrastructure management services through its global network and security
operations center (GNSOC) and is setting up mini centers of excellence (COEs)
for operating systems: Microsoft, Red Hat Linux, AIX, Solaris, databases:
Oracle, MS SQL, MySQL, DB2, Messaging Solutions and IT security labs for ethical
hacking and vulnerability assessments and niche application infrastructure
solutions.

Hari Padmanabhan, MD, 3i Infotech said, "3i Infotech today
offers a range of products across the insurance, banking and financial services,
manufacturing and distribution landscape and we will continue to expand and
deepen our product portfolio across the verticals we are focused on. Customers
in this space, however, are today looking at driving larger scale in their
business at lower implementation cost. The challenge for the CEO therefore, is
to be able to relate cost to revenue. With the inauguration of our IDC, 3i
Infotech has dramatically shifted its ability to service such customers to
provide them a single point business execution outsourcing solution."
