infrastructure accelerates
digital transformation.
When cars do the driving,
people are freed to focus on more
important matters. It’s the same
with your infrastructure.
Barely more than a century ago, cars had to be started with a
hand crank and operated with a series of levers. Maintaining
a vehicle was so time-consuming that it was considered a
hobby — one that took up whole weekends — until just a few
decades ago.
Today, most cars start at the press of a button and oer
adaptive cruise control and built-in navigation systems.
Maintenance is required less often and can be completed
fairly quickly by highly trained specialists.
In the not too distant future, autonomous vehicles will
use powerful systems of onboard sensors and pervasive
data analytics and articial intelligence (AI) to transport
passengers and proactively identify and remediate issues —
from routine maintenance to emergency measures — with
minimal human direction.
This journey is roughly parallel to advances in IT. From punch
cards to FORTRAN to AI so advanced it can write its own
code, incremental increases in automation have progressed
the state of the art for IT — and increasingly freed sta from
manual, tedious tasks.
While still at the midway point on the automation continuum,
server automation can already liberate resources from some
of the day-to-day management and maintenance of server
infrastructure, so IT can focus more time and energy on
digital transformation that drives innovation and
business success.
