TCS, Intel collaborating to build “future ready reference architecture”

By TechTaffy Desk

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has inked a new collaboration with Intel to build a “future ready reference architecture” for the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud, network, 5G, AI, and data center infrastructure management.

The collaboration will enable the development of solutions based on Intel’s technologies such as Xeon processors, 7th-Gen Intel Core processors, Optane SSDs, Xeon Phi processors, and Omni-Path Technology, as well as solutions including Rack Scale Design, network function virtualization (NFV), and artificial intelligence.

TCS and Intel are also investing in Centers of Excellence (CoE) in the US and India. The COEs will address industry-specific challenges in IoT. In addition, TCS and Intel will design cloud-ready network architectures, say the companies.
