Kalyan discussed the growing complexity of the data center, the improtance of compliance and best practices, and the role that CMDB (configuration management database) and automation can play in addressing complexity challenges. Kalyan was part of the team at Opsware, the data center automation company acquired by HP in 2007. This video runs about 8 minutes.
