The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization and Service Automation
In this sixth guide sponsored by HP, Greg Shields details the many management benefits that accompany the move to virtualization.
San Francisco, CA—Monday, October 27th, 2008—Realtime Publishers, the leader in expert-driven online media for IT professionals, and HP announced the immediate release of The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization and Service Automation. This new eBook assists the smart enterprise with understanding virtualization’s fit into the rest of the IT environment. A major part of that fit is in aligning the promise of virtualization technology with the automation benefits associated with virtualization management. What you’ll find in reading this guide is that notwithstanding what technologies and technological improvements virtualization brings to the table, there are a set of management enhancements that also arrive.
“Alone and without the right indicators in place, virtualization is yet another technology in a long string that improves the lives of individual IT administrators yet doesn’t demonstrably impact the bottom line,” explains author Greg Shields. “On the other hand, when integrated with a focus on improving operational processes and business agility, virtualization pays huge dividends to the smart enterprise. Focusing on the processes that wrap around virtualization, The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization and Service Automation explains how virtualization brings automation of many levels to the IT environment.”
The Shortcut Guide to Virtualization and Service Automation offers the following chapters:
Chapter 1: Virtualization and Service Management
Chapter 2: Virtualization Automation: The Pure-play Approach
Chapter 3: Automating Change Management in Virtualized Environments
Chapter 4: Problem Resolution in Virtualized Environments
