Talking about infrastructure automation sounds all well and good, but how does it look in reality? 

Infrastructure automation promises efficiency, agility and security—but implementation poses its own set of challenges. IT teams face the challenge of not only deploying complex infrastructures, but also keeping them up and running and developing them. In reality, however, there are often diverse system landscapes, processes that have developed by themselves, and poor communication between teams standing in the way. 

 

In this event, we’ll cast an eye over implementing infrastructure automation.

We’ll show how you can build automation incrementally—starting with analysing existing structures and modularly planned implementations all the way to stable operating models. Using the example of specific projects, you’ll learn which architecture concepts have stood the test of time, the typical pitfalls, and how you can tackle technological, organisational and cultural hurdles. You’ll also get well-founded insights into constructing resilient automation designs with the aim of creating sustainable structures that work for the daily grind.

Head of Cisco Competence Centre, Bechtle

Sustainable automation requires technology, culture, and discipline. Christian Drefke is convinced of this, and he has been working on automation projects since 2003. Together with his team, he uses APIs to realise customer-specific solutions and automations. Over the past few years, he has been focussing intensively on how automation drives business and DevOps practices can be established in IT organisations.

Team Lead Cisco Solutions, Bechtle

For nearly 20 years, Hannes Brade has been at home in network business, supporting companies in implementing and updating their infrastructures. Growing complexity and the ever-increasing size of modern networks have seen scalability and standardisation as well as flexibility and agile working gain importance. With pragmatic DevNet approaches, he and his team bring these apparent opposites together, always with the aim of giving their customers more time to focus on their core business.
