CDAC February 15, 2007
Posted by Pallav Sharda in : Governmental, Technology , trackbackThe story goes that in 1987, Indian government required a supercomputer for weather forecasting and was refused the sale of one by the US government. That led to the establishment of CDAC (Center for Advanced Computing) in 1988, with the mission of developing indigenous advanced computing products, solutions and services.
CDAC develops high-performance hardware as it’s legacy focus. Over the years, they have diversified into IT-based solutions for various industries (I’ve written about their Healthcare focused solutions here), IT training and government R&D projects in areas like Artificial Intelligence, Data modeling, Data warehousing etc.
Although they claim to an ‘independent’ scientific society, I figure they have tight dovetailing with the government based on projects and funding. They offer products and services for sale, and the government is probably their major customer. Check out their corporate presentation.
