What I see as the biggest gap that will be filled in the next 1-2 years in this space is the ability to commonly and cost effectively monitor the load directly. When I say the load I mean both facilities and IT.

I am of course biased being a Cisco guy but we are laser focused on developing our networks as an open platform that can monitor and control IT loads through the OS and extend this schema through building mediation to the facilities infrastructure (monitoring in the near term, control in the mid).

If not the network then what? Isn’t in the logical choice if it can be open, common and run on existing infra?

My 2 cents.

Thanks for the follow up post, nice one.
