While the branding of EcoStruxure TM IT is a relatively new announcement , Schneider Electric’s cloud-based services based on DCIM software, were launched during 2016. However, Data Center Management-as-a-service, or DMaaS , differs from both DCIM and DCIM delivered as a SaaS offering in a number of ways, as highlighted by Rhonda Ascierto and Jeffrey Fidacaro of 451 Research in their Spotlight entitled “ The disrupted datacenter; datacenter management as a service .” The first step in managing infrastructure is to start monitoring components and equipment. DMaaS has simplified this process when compared to on-premises and as-a-service DCIM. Right from the get-go, DMaaS starts a process of aggregating and analyzing large sets of anonymized data directly from the customers’ data center infrastructure equipment via a secure and encrypted connection. This data can be enhanced using machine learning with the key goal of predicting and preventing data center failures, foreseeing service ...

The semiconductor industry is big – estimated to top $339 billion in annual sales in 2017. What’s more, many of the players that dominate semiconductor design and fabrication are also large. That is because building a state-of-the-art wafer fab today is an expensive proposition. Pure-play foundry TSMC, for instance, is spending $3 billion for a wafer fab in Nanjing, China that will make chips using a 16-nanometer technology starting in the second half of 2018, according to the analysts at IC Insights . To take on projects of that size, a company typically must be large and have economies of scale. While these giants routinely compete amongst themselves for customers and market share, there are times when they must work together. One of those times is in the development of mutually beneficial equipment standards that help drive industry progress. And when equipment standards are involved, so too are the innovative smaller companies on which the fabs rely to create the equipment that ...
