Session Synopsis
Datacenter managers are being asked to do more with less. The only way to achieve this is through better automation or so says Tim Norman of CA.
If you are under pressure to reduce IT complexity while improving services and containing costs-Automation may be the answer! Like most IT organisations, you must deal with an ever-growing demand for business services across an increasingly complex infrastructure.
Challenges that are becoming more urgent as demand and complexity escalate include inefficient and expensive manual processes; underutilisation of assets; and detecting configuration drift. Join us as we examine how automating key IT processes, including server provisioning, configuration auditing and workloads, can help optimise data center resources, improve efficiency and manage costs.
We will discuss the current and future states of Data Center Automation (DCA), as well as the key considerations that automation should accommodate because its only when dynamic capabilities are added that the real-time data center is enabled.
