October 29, 2007 (IDG News Service) — BOSTON – Wachovia is working on a project of staggering scope: A 3-D map of the firm’s data-center operations.

The effort has been underway for about eight months, said Jacob Hall, a Wachovia vice president and head of the company’s platform design and data center, technology products group.

To generate the 3-D models, the financial services company is using geospatial data and also partnering with a pair of vendors, Tideway Systems and Intepoint, as well as the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, which has a visualization center.

Very cool, data center management remains an important transversal service, something that can be viewed by the CIO, the management teams as well as the IT. Managing the access, who has access to which parts of the data or the whole data center, who manages the data and how we link it to the business line, the application will remain the challenge.
