BANGALORE, INDIA: Microsoft India today launched three major server and tools offerings aimed at revolutionizing the technology infrastructure in organizations.

The new offerings are Windows Server 2008, SQL Server 2008 and Visual Studio 2008.

The three products enable Dynamic IT, a platform for core IT infrastructure and application infrastructure technologies that can easily adapt to changing business conditions.

Windows Server 2008 and SQL Server 2008 are key products in the company’s strategy to promote greater interoperability, opportunity and choice for customers and developers.

Microsoft has worked with more than thousand global partners to help plan, build, test and deploy these leading-edge solutions by providing early access to code, training and testing and certification support.

Some of the early adapters of these products in India include Allahabad Bank, Larsen & Toubro, ECC, TVS Motors, etc.

Microsoft India has also engaged with more than 200 partners including System Integrators (SI) and resellers, who will roll out products and programs to support the new platform.

Post-launch, Microsoft Learning partners will offer free-day-long training sessions on each of these products at over 80 cities across the country.

In April it will offer live online learning sessions to help developers and IT professionals across the country get skilled on these products.

“Organizations spend more than 70 per cent of their IT budgets and resources on maintaining existing infrastructure. This is clearly less than optimal and a huge drain on resources. The focus for this launch is to allow businesses to provide them with powerful tools to focus on acquiring and leveraging new capabilities, rather than straining to maintain existing infrastructure,” said S Somasegar, senior vice president, Microsoft.
