Not only will this reduce your management costs, but can also minimize the risk of human error so that compliance and governance requirements are met with consistency. With automation securely in place, it can also improve the speed at which you adopt new technologies into your infrastructure, knowing that data protection requirements for new workloads can be easily met. 5 Support Workload Portability – Every TCO evaluation needs to consider the changing needs of business.
