Podcast: How intelligent automation is transforming IT systems management

With IT environments growing more and more complex and demanding, traditional IT systems management is moving into a new era of intelligence-driven automation and optimization. New machine learning and artificial intelligence capabilities, combined with a common management framework, are changing the face of how IT operations are bringing all the pieces together―with automation being key. "The foundation of it begins with automation, because if you can automate, you become repeatable, consistent, and reliable, and those are all good in your data center," says Hewlett Packard Enterprise's Doug de Werd. Automation also supports greater innovation and creativity, he says, because it frees organizations to focus on the business, enabling quicker releases and time to market, among other competitive advantages. Looking forward, organizations will move toward autonomous computing, he adds, where new technologies will adjust compute, storage, and network capacity on the fly in a continuous optimization model.
