It might not be long before ZigBee plays a key role in your data centre operations. Find out why you should look into the wireless technology. IT managers might soon find use for the wireless ZigBee protocol to manage, automate and control their complex data centre environments, according to the head of Exegin Technologies Ltd. The Vancouver-based company – a long standing and active member of the ZigBee Alliance – has recently announced the certification of its ZigBee stack software and its bridging and gateway technology as a ZigBee PRO compliant platform. The certification means that Exegin can now develop products that use ZigBee PANs with the assurance that its devices will be compatible with other third-party ZigBee products. The ZigBee wireless standard is a protocol stack for the IEEE 802.14.5 radio standard, and is governed by the ZigBee Alliance, which is comprised of several hundred companies around the globe. “The thrust of the alliance is to develop a technology for sensor control networks and allow the members of the alliance to identify niches within that space and provide products that have a very high probability of interoperating with each other,” Leslie Mulder, president of Exegin, said. “Because of this certification, a load controller from Phillips is 99.9 per cent guaranteed to interoperate with a gateway from Exegin.”
