Pivotal events like 9/11 and SOX have fueled the creation of a rapidly growing $60B industry segment: Mission-critical infrastructure lies at the intersection of demand for information intelligence and the constraints of a physical world. Solutions include the 24x7x365 operations of "critical facilities", from fully redundant, secure data centers for corporations and government, to the sophisticated environmental conditions of high tech manufacturing plants, clean rooms, and pharmaceutical labs.
