rPath and Cfengine to Help IT Leaders Weather the Storm

Webinar to Offer Insight into Taking on Massive Scale, Accelerating Change and Collapsing Budgets in the Modern DataCenter
RALEIGH, N.C. — September 30, 2010 @PR2WEB — rPath, an innovator in automating system deployment and maintenance, is co-sponsoring an upcoming webinar in which three of the foremost innovators in system automation practices for scale will discuss an “industrialized” approach to automating the system lifecycle and software supply chain that takes its cues from modern manufacturing practices. rPath is co-sponsoring the event with Cfengine.

Today’s enterprise IT organizations face a perfect storm—compounding scale, accelerating change, and collapsing operating budgets. IT is being asked to take on more—and deliver faster—with fewer resources. This has led to something of a renaissance for automation as the only practical way forward. But yesterday’s ad hoc, script-based approaches to automation can’t meet the demands of the modern data center. IT is looking for a better way to automate IT system construction, deployment and change in the age of speed and scale.
