Infosys Ltd. is continuing to grow its Cobalt base of reference architectures to help customers accelerate services and solutions in the cloud.

When the company launched its Cobalt suite in summer 2020, it offered over 14,000 cloud assets and 200 industry blueprints. Those numbers have expanded over the past year, as Infosys grew its business and leveraged partnerships with major cloud services providers such as Amazon Web Services Inc.

“We now have 250 industry blueprints and around 25,000 assets that we can take to our customers to help their digital journey,” said Anant Adya (pictured, right), senior vice president and business head for cloud, infrastructure, and security services at Infosys. “It could be getting out of datacenters; it could be migrating workloads to the cloud. Cobalt offers bespoke solutions, it has products and platforms, and we have brought all of this together for our customers.”

Adya spoke with David Nicholson, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio, during AWS re:Invent. He was joined by David Wilson (pictured, left), SVP and head of global alliances and partner ecosystem at Infosys, and they discussed how Infosys integrates its solutions with innovations from key partners and the role of reference architectures in furthering customer innovation.

Partnership with AWS

Partnerships play a key role for Infosys in the delivery of its Cobalt suite of solutions. When AWS announced a new platform for mainframe migration and modernization during re:Invent, Infosys was already in discussion over how to implement the new solution for its customer base.

“One of the discussions we’ve been having this week is around the mainframe services that were announced and how can we support them in building out our industry specific assets,” Wilson said. “It’s taking a kernel of what AWS provides and then wrapping our secret sauce around it in partnership with other companies.”

As Infosys continues to expand its reference architecture portfolio, the company is finding interest in a wide range of solutions, driven by a growing number of cloud services for enterprise applications.

“Cloud is going to be used more for innovation; it’s not just going to be about taking a datacenter and moving it,” Adya said. “If a financial services customer wants to fight fraud, fraud analytics is a reference architecture that we have. If a customer wants to look at drug discovery, we have an architecture for that. We want to be reference architecture based without reinventing the wheel and bring the best practices from other customers to drive those scenarios.”
