Data Centers Are Silos
Slow Infrastructure Service Delivery Times
… but even with infrastructure automation what about the application?
Days - Weeks
Wait Work Wait Wait
Manual efforts:
4 - 6 Hours
Infrastructure

Organizational siloes lead to wait times in slow workflows
Time consuming manual tasks
Manual configurations lead to inconsistencies, errors and need for rework
