standardization with a single vendor isn't the only option

James,

Great post on how yesterday?s vision of the data center is today becoming a reality. While you understandably highlighted the largest players and their quest to homogenize data centers with their line of products, I have to strongly disagree that standardization is the only way.

There are many data center automation and orchestration tools available that can ? and do ? work with various types of hardware models and vendors. These companies are enabling asset optimization, better approaches to DR, and a new way to look at the computing resources in their data center. Take a look at BMC's BladeLogic Operations Manager, CA?s Data Center Automation solution, Racemi's DynaCenter, PlateSpin and Scalent. I believe that most of these solutions are moving in the same direction as the new HP applications, but with a vendor agnostic approach.

This market is just beginning to blossom and there is a whole line of competition out there for HP, so maybe companies should think twice about their options and becoming ?locked-in? to a single vendor.
