Cognizant Technology Solutions plans to expand its data centre footprint in North America and Europe.

It will also deploy an enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure to deliver a broader range of transformational services.

The US-based software company will initially invest $25 million to open additional data centres in Arizona (US), Virginia (US), Amsterdam (the Netherlands) and Slough (UK).

These centres, coupled with an enterprise-class multi-tenant cloud platform, will strengthen Cognizant’s infrastructure management capabilities and enable clients to maximise value in their IT environment, says a company press release.

It marks an important milestone in Cognizant’s ability to provide clients with flexible, utility-based, as-a-service delivery models specific to their organisational needs.

Cognizant’s enterprise-class, multi-tenant cloud infrastructure platform broadens the company’s overall cloud services portfolio. This includes cloud assessment, architecture and design consulting, cloud system integration, and cloud management services across private, public, and hybrid cloud solutions.
