Without automation, your IT can be slow in responding to growth and market demand. Examples seen in the field include provisioning new workloads, and you may have to go through painful manual on-boarding of services. Tasks may include the manual inclusion of workloads into Active Directory, application deployments, security configuration, backup set-up and CMDB updating. In some extreme cases, some clients wait weeks for new IT services to be enabled. This white paper should kick-start your journey to tackle some of these pain points.

This paper discusses the idea that nearly everything in your data centre will be automated in some fashion in the coming years. Some of the different facets of IT automation will be discussed, and how they apply to your day-to-day data centre or cloud management.

As an IT manager or CIO, by the end of this paper, you should be convinced that automation is the way forward, especially if you are in a large enterprise. You may, however, encounter some resistance from within your business. The said people in this context are those people opposed to change. Atos presents some techniques or concepts that may help you overcome the legacy mindset that humans should be in control of everything.
