Why Programmability Series #1: What is Infrastructure Programmability?
Infrastructure programmability is about providing a
faster time to competitive advantage.
#FutureOfIT
Infrastructure programmability provides the ability to control and change the functions
of IT infrastructure.
#FutureOfIT
From a configuration and operations perspective, programming the
infrastructure is about provisioning by using software rather than box-by-box manual
configuration.
Programmability is about giving developers the knobs they can understand from their
perspective.
#FutureOfIT
The Internet of Everything (IoE) will bring billions of new devices, new security
requirements and large amount of data from which insights will need to be extracted in real-
time.
