Targeted at small, medium and enterprise businesses, and based on its model-driven engineering framework for next-generation data centers called FluidState, the FluidState data center from Wipro is essentially a predesigned, prefabricated data center. The firm has implemented FluidState  data center for the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore (IIMB).

The FluidState framework stands for Flexible, Lean, Upgradable, Intelligent data center is standardized for accelerated deployment. With technology powered by Cisco, HP, Hitachi and EMC among others, the FluidState data center offers a contemporary modular design, optimized for efficiency, cooling, power and space. Due to its modular design, the DC can be upgraded or downgraded without any downtime. Wipro claims that FluidState offers a greener data center in terms of a unified computing environment with 24x7 lights out operation, capacity on demand, four times higher density per rack, up to 40 percent lower cooling cost and reduced carbon footprint. The data center uses virtualization and highest density in its building blocks.

Commenting on the launch, Achuthan Nair, VP and Business Head, Professional Services Division, Wipro, India, Middle East and Africa, said, "Given the unprecedented growth in data and need for increased computing power in data centers,  FluidState offers a simple solution whereby businesses can easily deploy data centers in the shortest possible time.
