Ericsson and ABB partner to transform data center infrastructure
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
* Ericsson partners with ABB to fundamentally transform how data center
resources are architected, optimized and managed.
* The alliance will bring a unique offering integrating the Ericsson Cloud
System and ABB's Decathlon® data center infrastructure management system
(DCIM).
* The combined solution will enable one end-to-end view and management of
total facility and equipment operations. Customer benefits include energy
and maintenance savings at the same time as improved reliability and
performance.
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) has signed a strategic alliance agreement with ABB - a
global leader in power and automation technologies - to transform how data
center resources are architected, optimized and managed. The collaboration is an
important step in realizing one controlled end-to-end holistic approach on how
to manage, automate and govern total datacenter infrastructure and operations.
The alliance will bring together the Ericsson Cloud System and ABB's Decathlon®
for Data Centers - a data center infrastructure management (DCIM) system. Data
center operators will gain the opportunity to automate and govern operations
across not only compute, storage, network hardware and software - but also
power, cooling and other IT management systems. This fully integrated solution
is designed to significantly improve ease of use, efficiency and sustainability.
Peter Terwiesch, President, Process Automation, ABB says; "As the data center
market matures, owners and operators are starting to demand the same control and
automation capabilities common to other complex, mission-critical environments.
Our alliance with Ericsson extends the automation of physical, mechanical and
electrical infrastructure right to the heart of IT workload management. It will
provide the technology for data center and cloud operators to optimize IT
workloads, saving operating costs while improving reliability and the
performance of their data centers."
Anders Lindblad, Head of Business Unit Cloud and IP, Ericsson says: "We selected
ABB as our partner because Decathlon for Data Centers is the only DCIM solution
available today that can provide holistic, real-time visibility and control from
service processor to power grid, as well as enable the dynamic automation of
data center physical resources."
