Using ITIL and Automation for Data Center Transformation

This paper applies ITIL best practices and data center automation in a 'how to'  approach to data center optimization and transformation.

This detailed white paper applies ITIL and HP Data Center Automation principles and process improvement to yield a cookbook approach to transforming the data center.  Business value is quantified and understandable, easy-to-use metrics are applied.
 
Current trends in virtualization, server automation and data center consolidation and conservation are overlayed with ITIL and best practice strategy applied to the modern data center.  Configuration management is addressed as a key business driver with metrics, governance and security advantages detailed and labor savings and efficiency gains quantified.
 
The benefits and the challenges of virtualization are discussed.  As hardward needs contract, the unprecedented growth of web based applications and server 'sprawl' are dwarfing the effects of virtualization and multiplying the need for centralized control, standardized best practices and automation. 
 
Special attention is given to the tendency of data center operations to be separated by 'silos' often driven by different technology platforms, and approaches suggested that consoidate high volume workflows across IT silos.
 
A variety of regulations, such as SOX (Sarbanes Oxley requirements) and HIPPA are examined with automation and reporting strategies suggested as a method of automating governance.
