DCML DOUBLES MEMBERSHIP WITHIN
THREE MONTHS OF INCEPTION
The Data Center Markup Language (DCML) Organization announced it has
doubled
its membership to 54 members since launching last fall, expanding the number
of companies committed to supporting the industry-wide DCML standard. The 10
new members of the DCML Organization include software, services and Web
management companies AssuredWeb, Blazent, Cadena Software, Covalent
Technologies, Etagon, NetContinuum, Peregrine Systems Inc, Qlusters, Speedera
Networks and Tideway Systems.
Led by governing members Computer Associates, EDS and Opsware, the DCML
initiative continues to gain the support of leading technology companies
committed to bringing uniformity, IT system interoperability and utility
computing to data centers. DCML members have direct involvement in helping
further define the DCML standard and influence the adoption and implementation
of the DCML specification.
DCML is the first vendor-neutral, open language that empowers corporations
with the most detailed, accurate and up-to-date information about their data
centers. DCML describes data center environments, dependencies between data
center components and the policies governing management and construction of
those environments. Automation and utility computing systems require a common
understanding of the data center, making DCML a key component to realizing a
utility computing environment.
Organization Plans First Quarterly Member Meeting
The DCML organization will hold its first quarterly member meeting on March
2-3 in Plano, Texas. Hosted by governing member EDS, the meeting will focus on
development of the DCML specification and technical roadmap, which is
scheduled to be released midyear. The specification is based on a mutually
agreed upon DCML Framework which provides the structure, definition,
processing rules and other important features common to DCML work.
