What is data center automated system management?
Automated systems management allows administrators to create policies for applications to allocate resources according to business priorities, without manual intervention. Typically, automation systems automatically discover available hardware assets, determine the proper application allocation according to those previously established policies, and then match available resources to an application. The intended result is optimal computing resource utilization and a decrease in required manual intervention. Assuming everything functions correctly, policy-based automation systems allow for higher service levels to be achieved in a more efficient manner. While not a panacea for all database management issues, automated systems allow system administrators to plan ahead, which in turn frees them to focus exclusively on any major issues that occur.
