Description du projet
Surveillance et gestion des centres de données à l’ère du numérique
L’Internet des objets (IdO) est à la pointe d’une nouvelle ère numérique où d’énormes volumes de données devront être hébergés dans des centres de données (datacentres, DC). Ces DC s’avèrent vitaux pour maintenir le bon fonctionnement des connexions Internet. Dans la mesure où de plus en plus d’entreprises (de toutes tailles) transfèrent leurs processus clés vers des DC externes, il est de plus en plus nécessaire de les surveiller et de les gérer efficacement. Le projet IDEAS, financé par l’UE, permettra aux DC de tirer parti des solutions de gestion de l’infrastructure (DCIM), réduisant ainsi les coûts et les complications. Les services DCIM contribueront à faciliter le développement de l’industrie des centres de données européens et des secteurs associés.
Objectif
By 2020, more than 7 billion people and businesses, and close to 20.8 billion devices, will be connected to the Internet. To
host these data, datacenters (DC) have become the backbone of the digital society as well as of a large part of our economy
and their number and complexity keeps increasing rapidly. Businesses of all sizes are moving their key processes to
external colocation datacenters. “The global datacenter colocation size is expected to grow from USD 31.52 billion in 2017 to
USD 62.30 billion by 2022, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 14.60%.”
At the same time, datacenter resources require monitoring and management to ensure proper business continuity. To that
extent, IDEAS project will enable datacenters to benefit significantly from the value add of DCIM (datacenter Infrastructure
Management) solutions at a fraction of the cost and complexity of today.
DCIM features will be accessible through a service-oriented business model. These services will address the needs present
during the active life of datacenters and enforce growth of datacenter industry and associated industries across the EU. An
example of this approach is the remote monitoring of the datacenter infrastructure using the intuitive / immersive interface of
IDEAS. It will provide an innovative and competitive answer at a time when the number of datacenters is dramatically
increasing in Europe due to colocation, “cloudification” of enterprise IT, but also new trends such as IoT, 5G that will result in
the surge of very small and scattered datacenters (also known as Edge IT).
The proposed project is needed to unlock the significant potential of commercialization of R&D results (novel datacenter
monitoring software) developed in the ongoing FET project MANGO. It will use this newly developed know-how and existing
3D engines to bring this system not only to a limited research world but also to a large number of datacenter operators.
