Background
Tata Elxsi was created as a joint venture between the Tata group and Elxsi, which produced mainframe computers. However, Elxsi went out of business in the early 1990s owing to the shift in consumer preferences across the world - mainframes took a backseat with the advent of Personal Computers (PCs). The Tata group retained the “Elxsi” name as part of the Tata group of companies.
Tata Elxsi's offerings include hardware, software and embedded electronics — across multiple technology domains such as Digital signal processing and embedded software, hardware, multimedia, computer networking, storage, visual and scientific computing and wireless. The company also provides mechanical product design for electronic enclosures, appliances and packaging, from concept to implementation and tool design.

Famous quotes containing the word background:
“Pilate with his question “What is truth?” is gladly trotted out these days as an advocate of Christ, so as to arouse the suspicion that everything known and knowable is an illusion and to erect the cross upon that gruesome background of the impossibility of knowledge.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“In the true sense one’s native land, with its background of tradition, early impressions, reminiscences and other things dear to one, is not enough to make sensitive human beings feel at home.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“Silence is the universal refuge, the sequel to all dull discourses and all foolish acts, a balm to our every chagrin, as welcome after satiety as after disappointment; that background which the painter may not daub, be he master or bungler, and which, however awkward a figure we may have made in the foreground, remains ever our inviolable asylum, where no indignity can assail, no personality can disturb us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
