Intel is investing $40 million over the next two years to expand its development center in Bangalore, the company said Friday. Intel has invested a similar amount on the facility since January last year.  Intel Chief Executive Officer Craig Barrett wound up his two-day visit to India on Friday by laying the foundation stone for the second building at the 43-acre Intel campus in Bangalore. The new wing is scheduled to be in operation by August next year.  The new funding will be used to develop next-generation chipsets based on the Centrino mobile technology platform, as well as for development and validation of laptop motherboards and thermal design support. Intel also is investing in the design and development of Windows-based graphics drivers for the Intel Extreme Graphics and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator product families.  The center will also develop enterprise microprocessors, including all aspects of VLSI (very large scale integration) design and development.  Bangalore has become a key design location for Intel. The development center there is already working on a variety of designs, including a 32-bit microprocessor for the enterprise market. Intel is also evaluating India as a possible location for a chip manufacturing facility, Barrett said.

(InfoWorld) - British telecom giant BT Group will spend Â£14 million ($27 million) over the next seven years on a new south London datacenter to strengthen its hosting and management services, the company said Thursday. The 930-square meter facility, which will have biometric security features, should be complete by September and has additional room for expansion, BT said. The company wants to grow its data services business by 20 percent a year with an emphasis on enterprise, public sector and financial services customers. BT estimates the data services market is worth Â£5.2 billion in Europe. BT is revamping many of its 70 data centers across the U.K., said Rajiv Abeysinghe, BT's data center transformation manager, at a conference in London on Wednesday hosted by Intel. Customers are asking for the ability to architect and host applications within BT datacenters, he said. BT is also looking to maximize its return on investment in datacenters, looking at ways to cope with power requirements with an eye toward renewable energy. The company said it reduced its carbon emissions by 60 percent between 1996 and 2006, and is working to up that figure to 80 percent by 2016. BT is asking vendors to make products with wider limits on temperature, humidity and air-quality, which could allow for more utility savings, Abeysinghe said. The company is increasing the ratio of applications on each of its servers' CPUs (central processing units) while also looking at virtualization technology. BT would like to increase its CPU virtualization rate from around 7 percent to 10 percent to 80 percent. "Virtualization can provide us with greater efficiency," Abeysinghe said. Â

(InfoWorld) - Intel's venture-capital arm has taken an unspecified stake in ADA Cellworks, a Malaysian company that provides radio network planning services. Intel's investment in the company is intended to smooth the adoption of WiMax technology. ADA Cellworks has helped operators roll out GSM and WCDMA cellular networks in countries around the world. It plans to use the funding from Intel to expand into planning services for WiMax networks. WiMax offers the promise of high-speed connections over a greater area than is possible with wireless LAN technology. Fixed-wireless and mobile versions of the technology are being developed, with the fixed-wireless version seen as a replacement for wired broadband connections, such as cable and DSL (digital subscriber line). Intel has invested heavily in the technology, developing WiMax chip sets and planning to add WiMax support to future laptops. Intel Capital did not disclose the size of the investment in ADA Cellworks, but the company typically invests up to $5 million when taking a stake in a private company. However, in some cases the company has invested much more. In July, Intel took aÂ $600 million stake in Clearwire, a broadband wireless provider that provides services in the U.S., Ireland, Denmark, Belgium, and Mexico.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
