		<description><![CDATA[To be complete this view needs to account for the power and cooling infrastructure upon which most apps are ultimately dependent for availability especailly since fault-tolerant computing proved too expensive for most apps outside the very most mission-critical stock exchange or ATM types, HP pushed hardware reliability to highest levels and internet apps mushroomed in number and insidieously in mission-critical importance.

**Ryan&#039;s Update** Interesting point, this maybe should be another Data Center Infrastructure by Category...something like Physical Infrastructure.  I&#039;m not very familiar with Power (including UPS), HVAC etc being managed via IP.  I guess also in that category would be the physical infrastructure like Racks, Cabling, etc).  I think your referring to products from players like Avocent, APC, Powerware, etc.  The problem is where do I draw the line as now were getting into more hardware then software in addition to things that can&#039;t be managed from my experience by anything but barcodes or manual (human eyes) assessment.  Please help me understand more here before I extend the model...I have to draw an automation line somewhere and I&#039;m hoping to keep it focused on software.]]></description>
