Server Automation Processes used to Scale Your Organisation

Working with traditional servers can be tedious, expensive and frustrating for everyone involved. Organisations like banks, telecommunication giants or even schools wanting to manage their data need to have their data managed in one centralised location, often by teams ranging from two to several hundred individuals often managing a fleet of virtual servers.

Technical professionals such as #DevOps and #SysOps engineer are common ranks employed by IT departments to manage all projects that require creation, migration and maintenance. Creating, maintaining and upgrading servers are now becoming the lifeblood of an organisation. An Information Systems department that is able to scale its IT services using server automation can often make an organisation a lot more productive and therefore productive.

Server Automation tools are built to make server deployment simple. Businesses will now be able to scale their existing team and make them more productive than ever before.

Let’s look at some of the automation processes used in server automation

Server Automation and its Processes.
The following are the various tools that come with server automation and their benefits:

System Compliance: A good automation tool ensures that the server being configured matches the requirements and specifications of the software that it works with.

Application Configuration: Server Automation during its processes will allow you to manually set up critical configuration information that can be used during several steps of the setup process. Information such as username and passwords can also be stored safely and securely in a good server automation app.

Application deployment: One of the most critical abilities of a server automation application is the ability to run a series of applications in orchestrated steps. Applications including the operating systems can be deployed to bare metal hardware seamlessly using server automation.

Reporting Tool: Often at the end of your task(s), you can get a comprehensive report, automatically compiled by the server automation tool giving you an overview of the entire SysOp process.

System patching: a critical feature mainly used to update existing servers or systems. Automating patches can save a lot of time and used to roll out critical features that can be immediately used by the organisation.

Self-documentation: Large organisations require compliance. Automation tools can now document the process being used to build servers via its self-documenting feature.

These are just a few of the key elements included in any good server automation tool. These are a few elements that are included in the server automation tool Attune developed by ServerTribe.
