Administrators struggle with ever increasing complexity in the data center. Increasing application complexity is compounded by growing server proliferation (both physical and virtual). These challenges are exacerbated by the fact that IT capacity, in terms of staffing and budget, is staying relatively flat. These challenges force data center managers to look for automation solutions that can help address the problem and prevent a collision course with data center chaos.

Today, companies have a series of unsatisfactory choices: building their own tools, buying point product solutions, or investing significant time and funds into a custom solution from a large provider. By choosing wisely, data center managers can invest in a solution that allows them to increase operator efficiencies, availability, and adherence to IT policies while minimizing risk.

Join Brian Babineau, Enterprise Strategy Group and Anne O'Neill, Symantec Corporation for an evaluation of these options and the discussion of Veritas Server Foundation from Symantec, a novel approach to Data Center Automation that embodies Symantec's vision for a solution to DCA that is both complete and simple.
