(InfoWorld) - Dell has announced the availability of virtualisation services that aim to help enterprises draw up and implement their virtualisation plans -- and it'll help you choose from its own hardware and software portfolio too of course. The process starts with Dell's Virtualisation Readiness Assessment (VRA). The VRA provides companies with a way to evaluate the impact a virtual infrastructure will have on its data center, according to the company. Dell reckoned that the service indicates the potential financial savings of a virtual infrastructure and explains how a virtualized environment could improve server management, maximize uptime and streamline deployment, and enable a company to simplify and scale operations to meet present and future demands. Dell's partners in the initiative include VMware, Microsoft, Red Hat, and Novell/SuSE. Dell said it provides a number of other virtualisation services including 'health checks', infrastructure and migration workshops, as well as design and implementation services that include proof of concept testing prior to deployment. The aim, said Dell is to provide a single source for a tested and vendor-validated virtualized solution. The Texas company said its services division aims to provide an end-to end virtualisation solution that simplifies IT and helps its customers design, configure, test, migrate, and maintain their systems, as well as reap the benefits of virtualisation. Dell quoted four reference sites for its services. The first is Deelgemeente Ijsselmonde, a local authority in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. The system Dell helped set up helps to deliver key community services to its surrounding population, via a consolidated server environment. The second reference site, said Dell, is Belgian consultancy ARCADIS which has implemented a SAN with a virtualized system that makes disaster recovery simpler and represents a step towards an efficient disaster recovery plan. Third, AZ Vesalius, a hospital in Belgium, is using a virtual server infrastructure to improve scalability to support the hospital's growth, according to Dell. And lastly, when the Marienhaus Klinikum Hospital in Germany needed a dependable IT Infrastructure for its 24/7 medical services, incorporating a back-up strategy for business continuity, it did so with the help of Dell's virtualisation services. "Increasingly, companies are looking for ways to make themselves more agile and competitive as well as create the most efficient IT infrastructure within the organization," said Dell's infrastructure consulting director Francois Argouges. "By managing and scaling resources as needed, organizations can continually refresh their IT infrastructure to support their dynamic business needs. Dell is committed to working with its customers and partners in order to deliver the most enhanced virtualisation solution on the market, backed up by industry leading support and services." The company also announced that it'll be unveiling a Vista migration service in autumn 2007.

(InfoWorld) - Chinese networking equipment maker Huawei Technologies Co. is expanding its R&D (research and development) in India with a new center in Bangalore for the development of optical network products and wireless LAN technologies. Huawei, of Shenzhen, already has two centers in Bangalore, which has the company's largest R&D operation outside China. Huawei employs about 1,200 engineers in Bangalore, and is adding another 150 by year end, J. Gilbert, a spokesman for Huawei in India said Thursday. Huawei's other development centers are in Sweden, Russia, and the U.S., Gilbert said. The centers in Bangalore focus on next generation networks, data communication, telecom middleware, network management, intelligent networks, mobile handset, server, security and optical networks, the company said. "We had a small team working on optical network, but as it has expanded we are setting up a separate facility for it," Gilbert said. Huawei will have about 180 engineers at the new facility, some of whom will work on the company's Optix series of intelligent optical network products. The new facility will also house a team doing software development in wireless LANs, with a focus on wireless switch and wireless access point products. Huawei has invested $100 million in its development centers in Bangalore. It plans to invest another $100 million by the end of 2008. The new investment is primarily to set up its own integrated campus in Bangalore, Gilbert said. The company currently operates out of rented premises. Huawei's plan to invest $60 million to set up manufacturing in India has, however, not yet been cleared by the Indian government, Gilbert said. The proposal from Huawei, submitted in March 2005, is reportedly under scrutiny by government intelligence agencies for security reasons.
