Eliminating Datacenter Network Constraints

…but delivering a technology is only part of the solution

We need to drive a cultural change…

Let’s start with changing the organization

When all you have is a hammer… And shift our operational methods

Trouble Tickets, Manual Processes

Continuous network service delivery DevOps for NetOps

Application driven automation

Provide a complete toolkit…

Help us (netops) get there

• Don’t accept the status quo

• Empower your netops team to improve the service they deliver to you

• Include your network architects early in technology research

• Encourage a “blurry” demarcation of responsibilities • Encourage your network engineers to take a codecademy course
