IBM launches virtual 3-D data centers

IBM has developed new technologies that recreate data centers in a secure virtual world - bringing real-time data from different facilities into a virtual environment.

With the IBM 3-D data center, users can not only monitor and manage live systems, but they can perform simulations and 'what if' scenarios about their enterprise. The modeling and simulation capability can be used for exercises in space, power and cooling planning, training, and disaster recovery scenarios. Users can move assets, interact with them and drive them with real or simulated data.

The virtual world platform that renders the 3-D environment is based on the OpenSim Application Platform for 3-D Virtual Worlds.
