Wachovia is working on a project of staggering scope: a 3-D map of the firm’s datacenter operations. To generate the 3-D models, the financial services company is using geospatial data and also partnering with a pair of vendors, Tideway Systems and Intepoint, as well as the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, which has a visualization center.
