This would be in addition to research and development centre that the company set up in India late last year here.

This is one technological innovation which is changing the data is handled in data centres,” Mr Simon explained.

On a visit to its Hyderabad centre, Mr Simon said that the creation of a new R&D centre in India has added to different facets of research in the areas of firewall, graphic user interface and testing, all related to the complex storage area. After the company de-focus from primary data to BuRA, that is back-up, recovery and archive, which is both tape and disk-based, new technological breakthroughs that are software-based are changing the data centre management approach.
