Wipro Ltd. has set up an open data centre in this tech hub to help enterprises adopt new age software defined infrastructure (SDI), the IT bellwether said on Monday.

"As a centre of excellence the data centre integrates proprietary and open source solutions across layers, including network, storage, compute and cloud," the software major said in a statement here.

The centre also aims to transform client data centres by leveraging its adoption framework, comprising its IP (intellectual property) assets.

"Our centre helps clients navigate through challenges associated with transformation of data centres. The centre of excellence will build, integrate, test and demonstrate customer aligned SDI solutions," Wipro's global infrastructure services chief executive G.K. Prasanna said on the occasion.

The centre of excellence is linked to three data centres with dual data centre architecture and located in the company's electronic city campus and Mountain View in the US.

The outsourcing major has forged strategic and niche technology alliances with Silicon Valley start-ups and mid-size OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) to offer comprehensive and future-proof solutions to customers.

Last month, in line with rivals TCS and Infosys, Wipro said it has set up a team of 200-250 professionals as part of its efforts to ramp up revenues from digital services. The team, which is referred internally as "Unicorns", comprises of people working across multiple technologies and design.

"What we are doing is we are creating a group that we internally call as Unicorns. Unicorns are the people who can really work across multiple technologies and design and this will be a very, very small group. This will be a group of about may be 200 to 250 people," Wipro CEO and Member of Board T K Kurien told reporters.
