rPath and Cfengine to Help IT Leaders Weather the Storm
Webinar to Offer Insight into Taking on Massive Scale, Accelerating
Change and Collapsing Budgets in the Modern Data Center
RALEIGH, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--rPath,
an innovator in automating system deployment
and maintenance,
is co-sponsoring an upcoming webinar in which three of the foremost
innovators in system automation practices for scale will discuss an
?industrialized? approach to automating the system lifecycle and
software supply chain that takes its cues from modern manufacturing
practices. rPath is co-sponsoring the event with Cfengine.
?Weathering the Perfect Storm: Taking on Massive Scale, Accelerating
Change
and Collapsing Budgets in the Modern Data Center?
Today?s enterprise IT organizations face a perfect storm ? compounding
scale, accelerating change, and collapsing operating budgets. IT is
being asked to take on more ? and deliver faster ? with fewer resources.
This has led to something of a renaissance for automation as the only
practical way forward. But yesterday?s ad hoc, script-based approaches
to automation can?t meet the demands of the modern data center. IT is
looking for a better way to automate IT system construction, deployment
and change in the age of speed and scale.
