But managing a distributed data center comes with its management and agility challenges. To avoid major disruptions and remain reliable, networks need to self-diagnose and make pivots when required. The problem is that to maintain this agility, companies using distributed data centers can't pivot unless they have the right automation approach. By enabling a best of breed software, updating processes to reduce human error, and maintaining a strong network foundation, companies can do just that. So what is the delay? Zack Zilakakis, Tech Evangelist at Apstra works closely with industry leaders to help define vision, strategy end execution. I invited him on the podcast today to learn more about how to solve these problems and more. We discuss the ins and outs of managing distributed data centers with automation and how organizations and channel partners can quickly identify what vendors are delivering the best plug-and-play software to solve data center challenges. We also talk about how data center agility allows organizations to remain more competitive in their industry by allowing network engineers to focus on strategy rather than fire fighting.
