The investment will be to expand its research and development operations, it said.

"India is also one of our fastest growing markets and where we have increasing important system integrator partners," Chief Executive Diane Greene said in the statement.

VMware sells software that allows a single server to perform the work of 10 or more machines by creating multiple virtual computers that run simultaneously on the machine. The technology helps cut costs for equipment, electricity and labour. (Reporting by Sumeet Chatterjee; Editing by Ranjit Gangadharan)
