Announcement posted by HCL Technologies 05 Sep 2016
Noida, India and SUNNYVALE, CA – 2 September 2016 – HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global IT services company, today announced that it has entered into a partnership agreement with Mesosphere, a datacentre infrastructure and container orchestration company. The partnership combines Mesosphere’s Datacenter Operating System (DC/OS <https://dcos.io/> ) with HCL’s unique Next–Gen IT & Operations capabilities to deliver a unified operational experience and achieve efficient resource utilisation for clients.
“With the rising wave of digitalisation, cloud and automation, the role of IT has changed from managing assets and services to delivering perfect user experiences. 21st Century Enterprise Infrastructure must be prepared for this change to meet the ever evolving business and user expectations,” said Kalyan Kumar, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, HCL Technologies.
“Through this partnership, HCL and Mesosphere are uniquely positioned to play a leadership role in the global cloud infrastructure management market.

“Forces such as cloud computing and containers are driving major changes in IT infrastructure, and are affecting businesses of all sizes in all industries,” said William Freiberg, Chief Operating Officer, Mesosphere. “DC/OS helps users take advantage of these trends, and is already revolutionising operations and application development inside customers’ datacenters and cloud environments. Our partnership with HCL will help us bring these results to a much larger range of companies across the globe.”
