IBM unveiled its first of a kind indigenous Dynamic Infrastructure Lab in Pune - India set up using the skill-base from its India workforce. The lab, located at the IBM Software Lab in Pune, showcases state-of-the-art technologies to address clients’ business challenges and brings more intelligence, automation, integration, and efficiencies to the digital and physical worlds. As a result, it will enable businesses and governments better respond to and manage challenges presented by today's globally integrated planet.

The lab aims to help organizations deliver the visibility, control and automation needed to address quality service, manage risk and compliance besides maximizing return on investments, and accelerate business growth.

Dr. Ponani Gopalakrishnan, Vice President, IBM India Software Lab said “It's time to start thinking differently about infrastructure. In this smarter world, we need our assets to propel us forward, not hold us back. A dynamic infrastructure transforms physical and digital assets into higher valued services. It is highly optimized to achieve greater results with improved service management, and leverages new technologies and strategies to reduce costs, manage risk and deliver superior business and IT services with agility and speed. With the launch of this lab, we are today in a position to showcase some of our own best practices with our clients in India/South Asia region”.

IBM Software Labs in India supports a heterogeneous environment and hence is very similar to a typical growing organization’s IT infrastructure. Using energy monitoring systems along with advanced Virtualization and automated management, IBM is looking to increase operational efficiency by over 20% and in turn increase its green footprint.

“In today’s challenging business environments, customers see the value that IBM brings to the table. The Dynamic Infrastructure Lab will help clients reuse existing capital and increase optimization of their assets by better monitoring their infrastructure and increase operational efficiency” – said Rekha D Garapati – Director – IBM India Software Labs.
