March 03 2015 - 8:00AM
- 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."
