NIIT Technologies announced its partnership with Kaavo. The partnership will provide secure cloud infrastructure management services to all of NIIT Technologies’ current and future clients.

While enterprises want to take advantage of the benefits of on-demand infrastructure offered by cloud computing, they have questions concerning security, control and reliability of infrastructure and applications deployed in the cloud.

Lalit Dhingra, President, NIIT Technologies Inc. said, “By combining NIIT Technologies’ IT Infrastructure Information Library (ITIL) based delivery and Kaavo’s cutting edge Infrastructure and Middleware on Demand (IMOD) engine, NIIT Technologies will help enterprises securely configure and deploy applications in the cloud, while providing seamless integration of management infrastructure and applications.” Dhingra continued, “We are excited to have Kaavo as a cloud computing partner. This partnership will significantly reduce costs and time-to-market, increase IT operational efficiency and provide greater transparency of IT costs for our customers.”

Of the new strategic partnership, Jamal Mazhar, Founder and CEO, Kaavo Inc. said, “We are very pleased that NIIT Technologies, an enterprise class service provider with a proven delivery record, will be benefiting from Kaavo's unique application centric management approach and will be using Kaavo’s IMOD platform for delivering superior services to customers. Having partners like NIIT Technologies will help us to stay focused on continuous innovation and further Kaavo's leadership in providing the best platform for managing applications in the cloud”.

NIIT Technologies is ranked among the world’s Top 20 service providers in 2009 by both the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP) and Datamonitor Black Book of Outsourcing. Moreover, in a 2008 Gartner Remote Monitoring and Support report, NIIT Technologies received a positive ranking for excellence in infrastructure management.

Kaavo’s IMOD is the first solution with a top down application-focused approach to IT infrastructure management in public and private clouds. Companies traditionally manage their servers and infrastructure resources from a bottom-up infrastructure-centric view which is complex, costly and impedes business growth. Kaavo’s patent pending technology provides the ability to easily, securely and efficiently run applications in the cloud, thus realizing the full potential of cloud computing.
