Ericsson and ABB partner to transform data center infrastructure
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."
