Abstract
Today’s data center needs to combine agility and efficiency to
enable growth and competitive advantage in the application
economy. Automation is a key to making this happen. This
session explores the stages of automation maturity – from basic
siloed automation such as monitoring to more advanced unified
automation that includes analytics, auditing and remediation to
fully automated management of SLAs. Discover how
organizations are moving from reactive to proactive and learn
how you can take data center automation to the next level.
