Data Center Automation - Enhance Efficiency & Security

The data center market is a $32 billion a year industry, thanks to the almost 3,000 data centers in the U.S. and 8,000 globally. Across all sectors, more organizations are moving towards digital acceleration. As they weigh the pros and cons of colocation vs. cloud-first, the demand for data centers is slated to rise even further. Is your company ready for growth?

Several critical areas of data centers can easily be automated to improve efficiency. These areas include everything from the basics of maintaining the premises in which these centers are located to some of their core data-driven tasks such as managing network traffic.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Intelligent Automation, and Machine Learning (ML) can allow CIOs to create all-new virtual processes and environments to scale and supplement their current operations. Automation can completely redefine how you work and meet increasing demands.

What are the benefits of data center and NOC automation?

Data centers, Network Security Operations Centers (SOC), and Network Operations Centers (NOC) can benefit significantly from automation software, ML, and AI.

Automation helps to monitor environments for outages, assess patch management systems, track network performance metrics, and notify experts if something goes wrong. You're also able to automate many of the data-driven tasks associated with managing uptime, firewalls, and endpoint data. The result is better service overall.

Monitoring

NOCs and data centers require a large amount of monitoring to keep services working smoothly. Automations can balance workloads, manage logistics procedures, and monitor network infrastructure environment for elements such as temperature, power distribution, and more. They won't interrupt other processes or add strain to the system.

Proactive Measures

Data center automation allows telecoms and managed service providers (MSPs) to take proactive measures to avoid costly breakdowns and interruptions in service. ML and RPA bots can predict errors, overloads, and failures to help mitigate the problems. They can send alerts, document issues, and help professionals prioritize bug fixes and upgrades.

Backups and Data Management

Database updates, data replication, and backups are just a few of the data management activities intelligent bots can take over from humans. Professionals simply need to identify and set up the triggers, and the Digital Workforce you create will take care of the rest, eliminating the risk of errors.

Security and Compliance

Monitor and record anomalies, control access to data and software, keep an auditable trail of information, and even detect attacks and perform threat analyses. You're also able to collect usage data and analytics to get a clear picture of the processes and needs of the company.

Workflows and Processes

Redefine the way you do incident handling, escalation protocols, and prioritization. NOC and data center automation frees up the time typically spent to perform these repetitive tasks, reducing errors and improving their consistency to achieve better results. And they adjust easily as your processes and needs change.

Analyzing Network Traffic

RPA bots make network traffic management more manageable, with capacity pattern recognition provided by machine learning. ML can automatically redirect traffic when networking thresholds are reached, ensuring necessary actions can be completed.

Who benefits from data center and NOC automations?

Running data centers and NOCs need skilled professionals, but automation makes a significant difference in system quality RPA and intelligent bots free up time, liberate data, and provide telecoms with unique insights and data for better decision making.

Unify Data and Information

Programs from different business areas can fail to work together; workarounds can sometimes introduce vulnerabilities. RPA bots free up data to aid with remediation, root cause identification, reporting, and more to give decision-makers a more accurate look at what's going on.

Compliance, Legal, and Audit Professionals

With so many rules, regulations, and laws demonstrating compliance can be problematic. Failing to meet requirements can be costly. NOC and data center automations can monitor for compliance, generate auditable logs, and notify the appropriate professionals instantly to minimize issues.

Management and Leadership

With the ability to carefully monitor and assess various networks and infrastructure, management can better prioritize upgrades and fixes. As a result, they can plan and scale systems and make informed decisions.

Customers and Employees

With less downtime, fewer system errors, and increasing demands on the system, the end-user will enjoy superior service, and so will the rest of the company. There are fewer interruptions, fewer complaints, and better results within and outside the company.
