The announcement was made at VMworld 2015 U.S.
As per the deal, Wipro will deploy NexentaStor, Nexenta’s OpenSDS platform, on x86 hardware in its facility in Bangalore. Subsequent to successful internal deployment of VDI Infrastructure, the Bangalore-based Wipro will deploy the Borderless business project infrastructure to 4,000 users in its Bangalore facility.
