In the News: Network Computing - Cloud Connect Is All About Automation
03/08/2011
I met with Garima Thockhcom, VP of marketing, and Scott Powers, director of product management and marketing for Gale Technologies. While they have marketing in their titles, these two have some tech chops, and they get the IT issues that automation can solve. Gale Technologies automates provisioning of physical or virtual servers, networking and storage, regardless of vendor. It's that last part that sparked my interest, because when you buy a stack of hardware and software from a single vendor--like Cisco's UCS and HP's Matrix--you expect each vendors' products to work with all of the products in their respective lines. But few companies have that luxury and have to work with gear from multiple vendors.
