Light Reading’s Phil Harvey recently sat down with Resolve’s Larry Lien at Network Virtualization and SDN Americas to explore how communication service providers (CSPs) are benefitting from automation, what types of processes can be automated, how to successfully navigate the automation journey, and how Automation Centers of Excellence can accelerate digital transformation.
Today’s overtaxed IT teams are under tremendous pressure to leverage new technologies like AI, cloud and IoT to innovate, but in reality, they spend most of their time just trying to keep the lights on.
Today, most IT teams find themselves facing a number of challenges presented by the new and increasingly complex infrastructure that accompanies digitization, including an exponential increase in data volumes and types. In fact, Gartner estimates that the data volumes generated by IT infrastructure and applications are increasing two- to three-fold every year (and that’s compounding growth). There’s clearly too much data for the humans on the IT team to sort through on their own.
Digital transformation is not just a buzzword. It’s real, it’s happening and there is no escaping it. IT teams strive to propel their businesses towards growth and innovation. That’s why 2019 is all about transformative projects in tech: CIOs are planning to increase their investments in cloud technology (67 per cent), AI and machine learning (54 per cent), and emerging tech vendors (41 per cent).
StackStorm is headed for the Linux Foundation! This is a big move and we're excited to share this news with our community. For several months now we've been working with the Linux Foundation, the StackStorm team, and many others inside Extreme to make this move possible. We want to thank everyone for their effort to make this move happen. StackStorm's community continues to grow and the impact the project has had continues to show, and show, and show, and show (you get the point).
