Stephen Elliot Will Explain How Automation Can Help Enterprises and Service Providers Achieve Lean IT by Reducing Business Risks and Improving Service Quality
Elliot's session, on Wednesday, August 12 at 1:15 p.m. PT, will address the increasing pressures IT and service provider organizations face to respond faster to business demands. In particular, he will explain why with reduced headcount and smaller budgets, they must deploy automation and virtualization to deliver operational effectiveness and efficiency.
"Automation and virtualization are increasingly critical to helping IT and service provider organizations achieve the agility, service quality, efficiency, and lower risks they desire," said Elliot. "I look forward to providing attendees practical advice on key management considerations when using these technologies in internal data centers and external clouds."
