TCS to enhance High Performance Application and Cloud offerings; acquires Pune-based start-up CRL
MUMBAI, India, Aug. 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) (BSE: 523540, NSE: TCS) the leading IT services, consulting and business solutions firm, announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100 per cent equity of Computational Research Laboratories (CRL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tata Sons, for a cash consideration of Rs 188 crore (US $34 million).
The acquisition of CRL, a pioneering start-up firm in the arena of High Performance Computing solutions in India, will enable TCS to extend its suite of solutions and offer integrated HPC application and Cloud services to its large base of customers.
High Performance Computing (HPC) applications are finding increasing relevance and use among large enterprises, as they look to solve complex business problems like reducing their time-to-market.

TCS' global base of customers across multiple industries including automotive, aerospace, and energy are investing in the use of HPC applications and services. CRL's core strength in creating and managing HPC environments enriches TCS capabilities in Infrastructure Management, Engineering and Industrial Services and strengthens the focus on creating cloud based industry platforms.
