open data center An open data center is an IT facility that employs a clearly defined and standardized set of hardware and software products designed to make the data center interoperable with other IT facilities. Currently, data center providers are not required to adhere to any standards unless there are regulatory requirements. By establishing standards that are open and vendor-agnostic, systems and software manufacturers will have a clearer roadmap to develop open data center products with more predictable features and functionality. In turn, this should ease performance and availability problems, while effectively addressing and streamlining the various elements needed to support cloud computing. The concept of an open data center is being promoted by industry consortiums such as the Open Data Center Alliance.
