Advocates of a standard that proposes to help data center components communicate are celebrating its birthday. The Data Center Markup Language (DCML) promises to be the first vendor-neutral data center and utility computing standard, according to the DCML Organization, which launched the proposed specification last year.
Over the past year, the group was able to draft a framework specification and transition of the standard to OASIS. Yet despite some 75 vendor and end-user organizations participating in the standard's development, industry watchers speculate if it will get off the ground without the support of network heavyweights such as IBM, HP, Sun and Dell.
