Date / Time: May 7, 10:00 am - 10:50 am

According to industry analysts, 80 percent of unplanned downtime is due to "people failures" and 80 percent of IT budgets are spent just keeping the business running. Citrix Delivery Center simplifies IT by eliminating manual processes that are labor intensive and error prone with Workflow Studio, a process automation solution that enables you to compose, integrate and orchestrate rule-based workflows across your IT infrastructure. Power management, dynamic resource allocation and disaster recovery are just a few of the solutions that can be automated using Workflow Studio. Go with the flow and turn your IT infrastructure into a dynamic delivery center.
In this session you will learn:
• What Workflow Studio is and how it works
• How to build workflows that reduce power usage and maximize server utilization
• How to integrate Workflow Studio with your management systems

Here's something else to think about -
The trouble with run book automation is that it shifts the people failure point from Operations to Engineering and increases the opportunity ill-conceived scripts to continue to do bad things long after a human would have noticed that something was going wrong (and yes, I learned this the hard way).
A word or two on designing and testing workflows with this in mind would not go amiss.
