Infrastructure Automation is Key to Modernization at Gartner IOCS
Summary
It doesn’t really matter what we call it, every 21st century IT department shares two pressing concerns: This was a central message of Gartner’s recent IT Infrastructure, Operations & Cloud Strategies (IOCS) conference last month. The solution, as Palmer put it during the IOCS keynote, is to develop intelligent infrastructure that “takes simple, repeatable building blocks and integrates, orchestrates, and manages them in a standardized, automated manner.” There were three major requirements for modern IT infrastructure described in the opening keynote at this year’s IOCS: An enterprise workload automation solution like ActiveBatch provides hundreds of prebuilt connectors that allow IT teams to pass data and dependencies between digital tools, regardless of vendor or underlying technology. This enables IT to take a unified approach to infrastructure automation, centralizing management of its workloads and resources and seamlessly integrating new tools and technologies. A full suite of monitoring, alerting, and auto-remediation capabilities further simplify IT operations, while no-code/low-code development tools help IT to extend governance and best practices across the enterprise. “We can make it easy for individuals and teams to go from thought to action at the speed of business,” said Roger Williams, senior director analyst, at the closing of IOCS’s keynote.
