Revolutionary bare metal?! Unearthing innovation in infrastructure
A common, but misleading, belief in IT infrastructure that bare metal is as boring as dirt. This perspective assumes that dirt is static and unchangeable. It fails to recognize its revolutionary productivity potential, akin to the transformation in farming methods: shifting from historical horse and plow to the efficiency of modern tractors transformed productivity. Same dirt, radically improved output. This analogy perfectly captures the revolutionary power of standardized automation for bare metal in the IT world. Bare metal is more than dirt! Historically, the IT industry has treated bare metal like a manual foundational yet uninspiring layer, for supporting more dynamic technologies. This is similar to viewing soil merely as dirt, ignoring its crucial role in nurturing growth and innovation in agriculture. It’s important to move past this analogy to progress. Infrastructure is a fertile ground for innovation, not just passive. Our mission is to bring reusable and standardized automation to infrastructure from bare metal layers and up. The outcome mirror the impact of agricultural science and tractors transforming farming practices. This fosters flexibility and efficiency, allowing for both customization and scalability. Four elements of revolutionary bare metal: Four elements of revolutionary bare metal:
Elimination of Manual Labor : Firstly, like tractors replacing manual farming, RackN automation libraries eliminate the reliance on manual labor in IT infrastructure. This shift leads to fewer errors, uninterrupted operations, and a faster pace of work with the tireless help of machines. This marks a fundamental change in how infrastructure tasks are performed. Knowledge-Embedded Automation : Secondly, RackN automated solutions are a wealth of knowledge. They are products of years of aggregating data center expertise across various enterprises, hardware, and operating systems. This is similar to advanced farming equipment that incorporates best practices and standards for high performance. Automation speeds up processes and embeds best practices and standardizations, allowing for more informed and efficient infrastructure management. Repeatability and Rapid Adaptation : Thirdly, the ability to apply lessons learned from one organization’s deployment across the entire system is a game-changer. This repeatability ensures that standards and updates are rapidly spread across the organization, mirroring evolution in farming techniques. Especially in today’s IT landscape it is crucial, especially for addressing security vulnerabilities and updating systems. Transformation Through Standardization and APIs : Lastly, the combination of standardized, API-driven automated systems revolutionizes the frequency and method of bare metal infrastructure deployment. Bare metal becomes similar to cloud-like continuous deployment. This approach enhances consistency, reliability, and the pace of innovation. It transforms infrastructure from its foundational layers, making it fast, resilient, dynamic, and standardized, thereby accelerating innovation rates for customers. Unearth your company’s innovation Just as the advent of the modern tractor was a turning point in agriculture, our innovative approach to bare metal promises to be equally transformative in the IT sphere. We’re dedicated to transforming the ‘dirt’ of IT – the fundamental, often undervalued layer of bare metal – into a fertile landscape for technological advancement, efficiency, and innovation.
