New Delhi

July 5th, 2007

HCL Infosystems Ltd has announced the launch of 'Datacentre in a Box', an
integrated solution that meets the complete IT infrastructure requirements of
small and medium enterprises. The solution comes with high-technology modules
along with network components and remote management systems in a single rack
with space and power-saving design that is highly cost-effective for the
emerging enterprises.

Most Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) require IT solutions that simplify
the complexity, are affordable, scalable and have good back up support. HCL 'Datacentre
in a Box' can support business applications including ERP, CRM, SCM, mail, web
(proxy) and print services that are required by small and medium enterprises.
The solution is also adaptable and scalable to the evolving business needs. HCL
Infosystems assures a single-point contact for support, freeing enterprises of
the hassles of calling multiple vendors.

HCL also plans to have a pan India road show of the solutions focusing on the
SMB clusters.

The Indian SMB market is estimated at approximately 7.5 million businesses,
of which only 21 per cent are known to make use of PCs. According to an AMI
survey, only 40 percent of networked SMBs have deployed servers, while close to
one-third of such small business organizations are planning to deploy a server
in the next 12 months.
