Application Management Automation for Modern Data Centers
In a recent article titled “Ready to automate data center management?” James Urquhart points out that “few organizations had made the decision to systematically automate” data center management, and adds,”If you don’t have an automation pilot in your budget for this fiscal year, I would seriously recommend planning one for the next cycle. I would also strongly recommend that system administrators begin to think about how they would automate their jobs.”
I couldn’t agree more and would like to stress the importance of application service automation.
Modern data centers are very different from traditional data centers. The main challenge of modern data centers is not primarily the number of servers, it is the complexity of the multi-tier applications that run on those servers.
