Technology evolution strongly impacts the computing systems industry. MindTree knows that hardware commoditization makes software-based, value-added features a key differentiator amongst technology vendors providing computing platforms to diverse customers. Application vendors addressing enterprise productivity requirements need to support multiple operating systems and hardware platforms. New protocols, interfaces, and disruptive technologies require a laser-sharp focus on innovation. Further, multi-core implementations coupled with virtualization are mainstream technologies as IT organizations adopt optimized computing platforms to realize business benefits.

In the Computing Systems Ecosystem MindTree provides comprehensive engineering services and technical support to server manufacturers, computing tools, platforms, and operating systems vendors.

Servers and Blades
Data consumption levels have never been higher; consequently the server industry has grown rapidly. MindTree knows that enterprise servers are evolving with blade servers driving much of the new adoption, as reducing costs and complexity is a priority for enterprises. Industry trends also push servers to be more energy efficient and denser, so as to handle increased load while being more ‘green’. Virtualization and multi-core innovations are other ways to increase utilization.

MindTree has experience working on all server platforms - Linux, Windows (including Vista), UNIX, and Solaris - as well as processors (Motorola 68K, PowerPC, C-Port, ARM 7 and 9 Series, DSP, Intel, Freescale) and memory subsystems to provide complete engineering services. We can support server vendors for new and legacy platforms. This allows you to focus core engineering talent on innovation and building new platforms. MindTree can also help you as a co-innovator by leveraging our breadth and depth of technology experience. This enables you to take advantage of new technologies, get into new product categories or business models to target for example, the SME space, or new customers in emerging economies.

Independent Technology Vendors - Computing Systems, Tools, and Platforms
MindTree’s skills in hardware, software, testing, and test automation allow us to deliver end-to-end product engineering services. We can help systems vendors enhance products quickly

Multi-platform support is a necessity today for quick integration into enterprise IT architecture, while simplifying end-user technology adoption. MindTree has the multi-platform/OS experience to provide complete product engineering ownership, customization services for target customers, porting across multiple platforms, compatibility testing, and tech support services. Our engineering team is proficient with all aspects of programming, including compilers, debuggers, code quality tools, and device drivers to enhance existing offerings from OS/platform vendors. The team is also well versed with enterprise and embedded platforms to provide complementary skill sets where necessary.

Our Experience

MindTree provided support with porting of BSPs, development of device drivers, enhancement of compiler/debugger, testing and test automation for a leading supplier of real-time and embedded OS.

Security Appliances
MindTree understands the complexity of data and content security in today’s business environment. Solution vendors need to continuously invest in new security features for existing product lines, and bring out newer security appliances to secure data at rest and in transit. These solutions have to integrate smoothly with the rest of the infrastructure, as well as interoperate with other vendor products.

MindTree has developed complete security appliances with hardware, mechanicals, and software protocols. We have also added security authentication mechanisms to existing storage and computing platforms. MindTree’s extensive experience in the security domain, from hardware appliances to software, provides a well-rounded perspective to security platforms and application vendors.

Our Experience

MindTree has assumed complete product engineering ownership for a VPN/firewall appliance with the following features - GE and FE small packet stateful firewall, GE 3DES/AES small packet VPN throughput, Dod/DDoS protection, 1U rack-mount appliance, less than 30 Watts power, VPNC interoperability, static and dynamic routing, 802.1q VLANs, Multi-Vendor Policy Manager, and Multi-Vendor Log Manager.
