AUTOMATION FOR EVERYONE

8

EVERY BUSINESS IS A DIGITAL BUSINESSToday, IT is driving innovation. If you can’t deliver software fast, your business can’t deliver, period.

Digital business is essentially software, which means that organizations that expect to thrive in a digital environment must have an improved competence in software delivery.Gartner 2015

COMPLEXITY KILLS PRODUCTIVITYComplexity is the enemy of innovation, which is why today’s enterprises are looking to automation and DevOps tools and practices.

DevOps can help organizations that are pushing to implement a bimodal strategy to support their digitalization efforts.Gartner 2015

WHEN YOU AUTOMATE, YOU ACCELERATE

Ansible loves the repetitive work your people hate. It helps smart people do smarter work. All with fewer errors and better accountability.

Automation can crush complexity and it gives you the one thing you can’t get enough of…time.

11

AUTOMATION = ACCELERATION

“With Ansible Tower, we just click a button and deploy to production in 5 minutes. It used to

take us 5 hours with 6 people sitting in a room, making sure we didn’t do anything wrong (and

we usually still had errors). We now deploy to production every other day instead of every 2

weeks, and nobody has to be up at 4am making sure it was done right.”

“By using Ansible Tower Surveys, we have created a self-service capability that allows our IT

guys to provision new cloud customers quickly. Our first 3 customers each took 2 weeks to

provision. With Ansible, our next 500 customers took 10 minutes each to provision.”

“We use Ansible to deploy the network configurations to new datacenters for our games.

Previously, it would take 4 days worth of work, onsite, to make sure that our networks were

configured correctly. With Ansible, I can now configure a datacenter in 4 minutes, remotely.”

12

WHAT IS ANSIBLE?

It’s a simple automation language that can perfectly describe an IT application infrastructure in Ansible Playbooks.

It’s an automation engine that runsAnsible Playbooks.

Ansible Tower is an enterprise framework for controlling, securing and managing your Ansible automation with a UI and RESTful API.
