NEC Technologies India(NTI) and its parent company NEC Japan have established a new centre - OSS Technology Centre - in Noida, India that will be providing technical support related to the use of Open Source Software(OSS).
The center started its operations on the 1st of July with approximately 50 experienced OSS engineers who are well-versed in OSS solution architecture, as well as essential software development and support capabilities.
The centre will be supporting global enterprises in building systems based on OSS, reinforcing collaboration with international OSS vendors and providing rapid technical support.
The new organization will also actively carry out development of new network functions related to Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) and application platform functions such as container and Platform as a Service (PaaS), all of which are part of the center's OpenStack-based development activities, in addition to contributing to making source codes openly available to the OSS community.
In recent years, the need for enterprises to capitalize on OSS, particularly OpenStack in cloud computing, big data computing and SDN/NFV has become increasingly pronounced, said NEC.
