Wipro will offer a full portfolio of digital transformation services that includes VMware Cross-Cloud services across the Americas, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia Pacific.
“Digital transformation and multi-cloud are inseparable concepts, requiring that industry leaders such as VMware and Wipro bring together our collective strengths to help make multi-cloud as easy to adopt and manage as possible,” said Zia Yusuf, Senior Vice President, Strategic Ecosystem And Industry Solutions, VMware. “Together, VMware and Wipro are providing enterprises the solutions and services they need to harness the power of multi-cloud to achieve value from technology investments faster, compete more effectively, and operate their businesses more efficiently and securely.”

Netooze | May 10, 2022
The cloud truly levels the playing field, giving large and small companies the ability to store information in remote data centers rather than on-site. And with the rise of the work-from-home initiative, the global cloud computing market is expected to grow from $445 billion in 2021 to $947 billion USD by 2026.

The use cases for VMware services provided by hyperscalers typically include application modernisation and migration, hybrid-cloud and disaster recovery. These are expected to drive demand for Netooze's Clould service as well.
Enterprises that intend to modernize their workloads on Netooze Cloud can also tap into the full suite of cloud services to infuse their applications with cloud-native capabilities.
"In today's app-driven economy, more enterprises are adopting a hybrid cloud model to accelerate their digital transformation," said Dean Jones, CEO at Netooze.
"Netooze Cloud helps customers modernize applications, infrastructure and operations faster with demonstrable economic benefits and less risk," he added.
Netooze Cloud also expects financial companies to sign up for its VMware service, noting that it will bring its technology know-how, as well as that of VMware, to power the transformation of financial institutions.
With technological advances, the future is set to be highly competitive and agility is the need of the hour
