Wednesday, August 6, 2008, 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

Speaker:
Stelio D'Alo, Senior Product Marketing Manager, HP.

The modern networked environment is a swarm of complexity with network components that extend far beyond the traditional data center. For CIOs the challenge has serious bottom line repercussions as they are being forced to manage more devices with fewer resources. Moreover, new and evolving government regulations mean that compliance targets are constantly shifting. Add virtualization into the equation and the ripple effect of small changes causing massive system disruption becomes apparent. Automation technologies present a radical set of efficiencies that promise to revolutionize today's networked environment. It's no longer a question of if but rather when and how. IT managers must learn not only how to effective integrate automation technologies into the fold but which ones will work in their operating environment. In this session attendees will learn how to:


»  Implement a holistic network lifecycle management strategy that works to deliver more reliable business services while reducing costs

»  Evaluate core network automation technologies and develop a functionality checklist that meets specific IT requirements

»  Mitigate the risk of change management in the operating environment by integrating network automation technologies

»  Address network compliance and security requirements

»  Reduce costs associated with network management while improving service levels
