Data Center Automation and Management

Leave manual labor in the past where it belongs

Today’s IT infrastructures are complex beasts, combining various components, services, applications, policies and processes, and keeping them all in tune (and customers, or your boss, happy) is the leading cause of loss of sleep. With more and more services supported by data centers, it’s not getting any easier.

The only way to support your business, drive new initiatives, and continue to keep IT infrastructure management costs under control, is to automate everything you possibly can – operations, management, monitoring and maintenance. By automation, we mean much more than just a piece of software.

Effective automation includes a workflow assessment, optimization, standardization, and, at the very end, actual process and task automation. The process will allow your business to capitalize on the benefits of faster IT operations and service delivery, reduced compliance and security risks, and fewer errors.

Benefits

  • Improved time to market and quality of service
    When done right, automation will deliver business value by allowing you to execute existing processes faster and with fewer errors. You will be able to respond to changing business requirements and deploy new services faster.
  • More resources for strategic initiatives that provide real business value
    Automation can save your IT team a lot of time and resources, so it can focus on the development of new services that add more value to your business.
  • Better security and compliance
    One of the main challenges with IT security policies is that they work well on paper, but struggle with delivering in a production environment. There are several reasons for that – patches are not deployed, ports remains open by mistake, misconfigurations are hard to identify and detect, etc. With automation, these issues are a thing of the past. You still have to design your security well, but the automated processes will make sure policies are actually deployed accurately and consistently, ensuring your data center is secure, robust and compliant with your security strategy.
  • Fewer errors
    Mistakes happen, and things sometimes just go wrong. That’s inevitable. Even with automation, you will still have to do some troubleshooting, but when a process is error-free, standardized and automated, it will stay just as you defined it – without typos, unnecessary commands, or unintended changes – even after millions of repetitions.
  • Lower operational costs
    Simple – fewer repetitive tasks, fewer mistakes, less troubleshooting and downtime.

We automate labor so you can do work

  • Automation with a purpose – automation doesn’t make sense if you don’t know what and why to automate so we will help you automate tasks that make business sense
  • Standardization – automation doesn’t fix a broken process. We help you develop your infrastructural processes right, so the automation can deliver the desired results.
  • Automation of service provisioning and configurations (server management, patching, updates)
  • Automation of application delivery (verification and deployment, scheduling)
  • Automation of compliance and monitoring (reporting, rules-based policies, monitoring, configuration audit)
