The Open Data Center Alliance launched today with the goal of making the modern data center more open, efficient and simpler to use.
The group is developing a steering committee and a number of working groups to create requirements that will server as the basis for open, industry standards. These requirements would form the basis for how data centers operate.
The alliance says the data center has become so complicated that it needs a radical overhaul. Only with such an overhaul will it be possible to realize the potential for cloud computing.
What do you think? Is the data center in need of an overhaul?
