Enabling the next-generation data center
To remain competitive, today’s enterprises need to reduce costs and become more agile. This is easier said then done.
A common reaction for addressing data center issues is to just add staff. However, human resources are already the most significant source of both cost and risk. Instead, companies need to find ways to operate more efficiently by automating labor-intensive IT tasks and data center operations.
To fully reap the value and benefits automation can provide, people, process and technology must change. This is where IT and data center automation has value. Automation applies both science and art to shift the focus of human involvement from manually repetitive, mundane and complex tasks to optimizing intelligent workflows. Intelligent workflows use automation to enable data center components to become self-monitoring to manage risk and adjust to change; self-healing to recover from error; and, self-acting to provision and deliver real-time IT services.
At HP, we see automation as one of the key building blocks of an adaptive infrastructure that help make tasks and processes more self-monitoring, self-correcting and self-acting – enabling IT to respond faster, more efficiently and more effectively to changing business needs.
