Bangalore, Dec. 9 Security solutions provider McAfee Inc has announced a global alliance with Wipro Technologies. Under the alliance, Wipro would resell McAfee’s products globally and also be a managed security services partner. The market for managed security systems is estimated to be over $3 billion and is growing at 15 per cent annually.

“The combination of Wipro’s global delivery model with McAfee Total Protection will provide our customers the ability to accelerate their deployments through an integrated security environment,” said Mr Paul Rolfe, Vice-President, Worldwide System Integrators and Technology Alliances at McAfee.

As part of the alliance, Wipro has set up a Centre of Excellence for McAfee to enhance the competencies of over 300 consultants a year across the McAfee product portfolio.

Meanwhile, Wipro Infotech, the India and Middle East IT business of Wipro, has launched the disaster recovery assurance service to achieve quicker through automated processes. When DR processes are not automated, it requires constant manual intervention and significant time and effort to ensure that the DR setup is efficient and will meet the desired recovery objectives at the time of disasters.

The Wipro Disaster Recovery Assurance service fills this gap through automating processes and providing better insight and reliability of real-time readiness of DR systems and recovery efficiency. The end-result is complete DR availability and recovery assurance for customers.
