TCS Launches ‘Engineering Environment as a Service’ on Red Hat OpenStack Platform

Tata Consultancy Services, (TCS) announced the launch of Engineering Environment as a Service, a cloud-based framework developed on the Red Hat OpenStack Platform. The framework will help increase utilization of business resources, lower infrastructure footprint, and reduce operational costs.

The Engineering Environment as a Service framework enables anytime-anywhere development and test environment to product engineering teams across the globe, through a self-service portal. When a new request is created using the framework, a configurable workflow is triggered, enabling approvals and zero-touch environment provisioning to take place. The framework allows for easier configuration of policies for scaling, high availability of services, greater security, and workload optimization. In addition, advanced service assurance capabilities provided by the framework have been designed to monitor critical infrastructure and engineering environment parameters and allow auto-recover from failure conditions.

In a highly competitive marketplace, where product life cycles are shortening, agility in the engineering environment is essential to accelerate product innovation. The ability to create on-demand engineering environments for development and test can significantly improve productivity of R&D engineers and reduce product time to market. Engineering Environment as a Service will aid the growing needs of the industry.
