Today's enterprise IT organizations are under great pressure to do more with less, while also accelerating velocity and responsiveness. At the same time, software systems are harder than ever to provision and maintain. Join this important webinar to learn how to take the time, cost and risk out of system provisioning and patching, allowing you to scale at near-zero marginal cost.

You will learn:

• How to automate and accelerate system provisioning, patching and update
• How to create hierarchical systems that allow cost-effective customization
  
• How to achieve "intelligent patching" to reduce the cost of patching and unintended consequences of change
• How to avert downtime and outages through automated dependency discovery and validation

Speakers include:

• Jake Sorofman, VP of products and marketing, rPath, Inc.
• Dave Johnson, director of field engineering, rPath, Inc.

All registrants will receive a complimentary copy of the book The 6 Musts of Intelligent System Automation, which includes a forward by Andi Mann of Enterprise Research Associates (EMA).
