Singapore, Feb 5:

Canada-based Obsidian Strategics is in discussions with technology companies to establish a super-computer business network in Asian markets, including India.

There are discussions underway with suitable groups that have the capabilities and technologies, said Bill Halina, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Obsidian Strategics.

As our company begins to grow in markets such as India, China and Australia, we see opportunities to manufacture wherever our product is being used, Halina told PTI.

Obsidian, which manufacturers its hardware and software in the US and Canada, has super computer-based technology to move data faster than anyone else.

We work with contract manufacturers and want to make sure the quality of the manufacturing is to our satisfaction, Halina said.

We will help bring jobs to a jurisdiction with the local economy that is in place and helping them to grow, he stressed.

We are also in the early days of exploring other markets, added Dr David Southwell, the groups Chief Visionary Officer.

The company prefers joint venture-based partnerships for operating in multiple markets, said at the recently held technology conference, EmTech Singapore.

Obsidian used its supercomputer, infiniband technology, on a trial basis on Tata Communications Trans-Pacific Subsea Cable from the US to Australia late last year.
