MindTree Consulting, an international IT and R&D Services company, today announced that it has set up a 64-bit Computing Competency Centre to provide migration services to both enterprise class and PC-based application builders. ‘CodeMigrate’ an IP-based tool developed at the centre will enable application builders to speed up migration from 32-bit to 64-bit computing. The migration tool ‘CodeMigrate’, an industry-first initiative, will significantly bring down costs, as well as cut migration time by 60%.
The Competency Centre provides 64-bit porting services to vendors of computing, networking, storage equipments, high end consumer appliances as well as the PC-based gaming industry. Already, enterprise class applications such as Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) that run on large databases (in the BFSI segment), applications based on graphics and heavy computing are currently witnessing a surge in migration to 64-bit computing.
The Centre has already commenced work with two customers, and expects the demand for porting services to balloon, with the advent of Windows Vista that will bring 64-bit computing to PCs. “We anticipated the trend of migration to 64-bit computing 18 months ahead, and started work on this almost a year ago. Today, we find application builders are increasingly facing the pressure to move their 32-bit applications to fully leverage the processing power of a 64-bit infrastructure”, says Mr Janakiraman, president and CEO, R&D Services, MindTree Consulting.
“Today’s 32-bit applications run on millions of lines of code – and migration to 64-bit means one needs to identify those lines that need to be changed. To do this manually is not only time-consuming, but is vulnerable to human error. CodeMigrate automatically identifies these lines of code, and recommends the change. With a tool like this, we ensure predictability, zero error and quality in our porting services”, added Mr Janakiraman.
MindTree’s 64-bit computing Competency Centre will currently focus on porting services for applications on Linux and Windows operating systems. However, during the course of the year, the Centre will develop expertise in additional operating systems such as AIX, HPUX and Solaris. The Center can serve its customers on user-level as well as kernel-level software, in various languages. The Center is currently working on a wide range of processors including the PowerPC and x86-64, and brings in experience at all levels of a system including processors, board, operating system, middleware and applications. The centre currently has 15 people and is looking at increasing that number to 45-50 by the end of this year.
With clients ranging from Fortune 50 companies to enterprise software organizations, MindTree delivers global technology solutions and R&D services to innovative technology leaders around the world.
MindTree has been named the leading service provider in the “Human Capital Development” category by Global Services magazine. MindTree was also among the top 10 leading service providers worldwide on the publication’s inaugural 2006 Global Services 100 ranking. MindTree has been recognized as one of the fastest growing technology companies in India by Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu in the “Deloitte Technology Fast 50 India” program. MindTree has been ranked among the “Best Companies to Work for in 2005” in the Business Today-Mercer-TNS study. MindTree has also been ranked among “Great Places to Work” for the second consecutive year in 2005 in a study conducted by Grow Talent Company and Businessworld, and as one of the “Best Employers in India” for the second consecutive year in 2004 by Hewitt Associates.
