Flipkart partners with Dell

Flipkart has partnered with Dell to ramp up its existing data centre and setup a disaster recovery mechanism.

This initiative is a part of its expansion plan to include additional product categories on its website, the company said in a statement. With the help of this deployment, Flipkart can focus on core business without worrying about disruptions to critical processes, a company spokesperson said. 

With Dell, we can add hundreds of virtual machines within a couple of minutes to meet a predicted increase in traffic volume, then automatically reduce the number to ensure energy efficiency at all times, said Sumeet Ghosh, Head of Engineering, Operations and Infrastructure, Flipkart.
