Tata Consultancy Services and Mesosphere announced a partnership aimed at helping customers utilize data services and cloud platforms more efficiently. TCS will build frameworks for new data services and enhance Mesosphere's existing DC/OS catalogue. Additionally, TCS Cloud will run DC/OS to provide a big data platform-as-a-service leveraging SMACK stack, a toolchain that is open-source and production-proven at scale. SMACK stack is becoming the standard to build enterprise applications that are the hallmark of digital transformations. The new framework will help TCS and Mesosphere customers drive digital initiatives more efficiently, thereby enhancing their return on investment. This partnership will enable customers to optimize their spend on public or private clouds or in-house data centers by up to 30% cut project lifecycles by almost half, and accelerate time to value for new digital initiatives. The TCS and Mesosphere partnership will enable customers to modernize their IT infrastructure for increased agility, flexibility, management, and security. It will also improve operational agility to more rapidly adapt to change, and accelerate innovation by leveraging more than 100 data services available as part of the DC/OS catalogue. TCS will also leverage Mesosphere's data services to offer Big Data, Real Time Analytics, IoT, and Hybrid Cloud solutions to customers.
