US Companies to Invest Heavily In Clouds
Emerson
Network Power announced that it is combining its Aperture and new
Avocent businesses as a new division focused on helping data center
customers better manage their infrastructure. This announcement
follows the December news that Emerson had completed its Avocent
acquisition. The new division is part of Emerson Network Power and is
headquartered in Huntsville, AL. The unit combines Avocent’s
management systems division, which offers access and control of the
physical aspects of network devices and servers, with Aperture’s
powerful infrastructure software for a robust portfolio of data
center infrastructure management solutions. Emerson acquired Aperture
in February 2008. President Stephen C. Hassell will lead the new
division. He previously served as Emerson vice president and chief
information officer (CIO) since 2004. The division will report to
Emerson Group Vice President Bob Bauer.
