Wipro has announced the expansion of its collaboration with Dell to bring the Dell AI Factory to Wipro's Enterprise AI-Ready Platform.
This collaboration is aimed at enhancing cost control and risk mitigation while providing enterprises access to the latest technology, accelerating the adoption of AI across cloud, data centre and edge environments.
Wipro's Enterprise AI-Ready platform will leverage the Dell AI Factory with Nvidia, including Dell Validated Designs for GenAI.
It will also bring GenAI's processing power to data without extensive upfront investment.
Nvidia's AI Enterprise software platform supports Wipro's AI platform using NVIDIA H100 Tensor Core GPUs and the NVIDIA Spectrum-X Ethernet networking platform.
Enterprises are keen to utilise their own data and business context to train, fine-tune and deploy AI on Dell solutions. This approach effectively and efficiently integrates advanced AI into their core business processes, bringing AI to data rather than moving data to AI.
The company said that the Dell AI Factory, with Nividia, brings together AI-optimised technologies, validated and integrated solutions, expert services and best practices to help customers achieve AI outcomes faster.
Wipro claims that its AI Control Center -an advanced orchestration layer that resides on the Wipro Enterprise AI-Ready platform which enables a seamless infusion of AI for IT and business - will now provide enhanced throughput from the Dell infrastructure.
Household appliances manufacturer Carysil Ltd on Tuesday (27 August) said its wholly-owned subsidiary Carysil UK Ltd had announced its decision to acquire the remaining 30% equity stake in Carysil Brassware Ltd, a UK-based company formerly known as The Tap Factory.
The acquisition, valued at £350,000, will make Carysil Brassware a 100% wholly-owned subsidiary of Carysil UK. Carysil UK had initially acquired a 70% stake in Carysil Brassware in April 2023 for £1.16 million, based on an enterprise value of £1.65 million.
Carysil Brassware, located in Yorkshire, UK, specialises in designing and sourcing bathroom and kitchen products, notably the 'Instant Boiling Water Tap.' The company's turnover stood at £1.21 million as of 31 March 2024.
The acquisition is categorised as a related-party transaction since it involves Carysil UK Ltd and the original promoters of Carysil Brassware, Greenwood Stuart and Zoe Amanda Greenwood.
Despite this, the transaction is conducted on an arm's length basis, with the acquisition funded entirely through the internal accruals of Carysil UK, without any remittance from the parent company, Carysil.
This strategic acquisition aligns with Carysil's objective to strengthen its position in the UK kitchen and bathroom segments by gaining access to innovative tap design and marketing capabilities, complementing its existing business.
