Omnitech to set up 2 new centres in NCR, Bangalore by end-2011

MUMBAI: BSE-listed IT major, Omnitech Infosolutions, has earmarked a Rs 25 crore investment to set up two more disaster recovery and business continuity (DRBC) centres by end-next year, a top company official said.

"We plan to set up two DRBC centres by end-2011. One would be in the NCR and the other in Bangalore," Omnitech Infosolutions' Managing Director, Atul Hemani, told.

The company presently has two such centres at Hyderabad and Navi Mumbai.

The investment in the two new centres will be through internal accruals, he said.

"Disaster recovery and business continuity will continue to be a thrust area for us along with infrastructure management services and applications management services," he said.

These centres would help the company further leverage its core business offering of managed IT services and going forward, in cloud computing as well, he said.

The company has also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a Mauritius company to set up a joint venture DRBC centre on the go-to-market model.
