[Johannesburg, 14 October 2003] -
Outsourcing services firm EDS has announced “the industry's first data centre language”, which represents its latest play in the utility computing market.EDS and Opsware (the company of Marc Andreesen, ex-head of Netscape) co-launched Data Centre Markup Language (DCML) in Boston and Geneva.The company says DCML was created to manage the complexity of data centre environments, facilitate exchange of information between data centre components and establish a foundation for “industry-wide utility computing”.Another standard?"The market has been demanding solutions that deliver on utility computing's promises of flexibility, scalability, agility and cost savings," says Jeff Kelly, VP of EDS Infrastructure Services. "Until now, the industry could only provide disconnected pieces of the solution. Utility computing requires a common, open data centre language to bring together all the moving parts."EDS explains: “Just as traditional [infrastructure] management approaches led to the development of standards such as Simple Network Management Protocol and Common Information Model for interoperable network monitoring and management applications, today's new automated management approaches require standards that support interoperability among solutions. DCML is a proposal for one such standard.”DCML, says Kelly, enables migration and consolidation of all data centre application, server, software and hardware components.He says DCML is the latest in a series of EDS initiatives to build on its utility capabilities. Included in these are “real-time usage metering of processing power (Ejasent software)”, automated mobile backup and restore across distributed enterprises, automated hosting, Extended Connected Office, which connects mobile/remote workers, and my Consistent Office Environment, a user-centric desktop portal access solution.Kelly adds that DCML unlocks the promises of utility. “Look how HTML changed things. We've just turned the same corner."
