Emerson Network Power Unveils Strategy to Enable Adoption of Trellis Platform

Emerson Network Power (News - Alert), a provider of business critical continuity solutions, announced its data center infrastructure management (DCIM) adoption strategy to enable users of Avocent (News - Alert), Aperture and Liebert DCIM software solutions to adopt the Trellis dynamic infrastructure optimization platform.

Trellis platform, according to company officials, is the only DCIM solution to control a complete array of data center infrastructure assets, including both IT and physical infrastructure, from a single console.

Through this migration strategy, Emerson Network Power allows current users to migrate to the Trellis platform while also benefitting from the greater visibility and control of data center operations available through a one-of-a-kind closed-loop control system.

The Trellis platform will extend the functionalities currently delivered by Liebert SiteScan, Avocent Data Center Planner, and Aperture management software solutions.

Leveraging Emerson Network Power’s proven expertise in asset, power, cooling and infrastructure management and embedded firmware technologies, the Trellis platform yields a new level of data center performance that helps them achieve high availability, operational efficiency and agility business demands.

“Our commitment has been to advance the state of Data Center Infrastructure Management while protecting our customers’ investments in the technology they are using today,” said Steve Hassell, president of the Avocent business of Emerson Network Power, in a statement “We are now in a position to work with new and existing customers to outline exactly how they can adopt the Trellis platform and experience unparalleled control over data center operations.”

Trellis platform is scheduled for release early next year, according to officials at Emerson Network Power.

Recently Emerson Network Power also announced the availability of its first 40G AdvancedTCA (News - Alert) payload blade, the ATCA-9405.

The ATCA-9405 can provide telecom equipment manufacturers with up to four times performance increase over previous generation ATCA blades for high touch and high throughput packet processing applications in the latest data-intensive network evolution, company officials said.
