Automate to Optimize: The Foundation for Data Center Efficiency

Tags:
data center

Overview Data centers experience constant change under pressure from technology and business drivers. IT systems are becoming more, not less complex as new technologies are introduced, and IT staffs are not growing to keep pace with the growth in size and complexity of the typical data center. Windows administrators need to radically simplify both complex and routine tasks if they are going to effectively respond to the constant pressure to deliver increasing value with limited resources. The most effective thing Windows administrators can do to address this issue is to minimize duties associated with maintaining the existing infrastructure. This paper describes an automation solution that can significantly simplify many complex and routine tasks, freeing Windows experts to focus on overall application functionality.
