Traditional IT operations can turn skilled people into robots who have to perform the same operationally-critical, yet time-consuming tasks over and over.
All the while, it seems there is never time to work on the most strategic projects for your organization.
What if you could build your own “robots” to do the repetitive work for you, so you could have time to do the things you really want to do?
Infrastructure automation is your robot army, waiting for your orders! Adding automation to your IT operations skillset is absolutely doable, even though it might sound intimidating.
Where do you start?
What should you learn?
What are the most important things to know?
On this new episode from World Wide Technology’s (WWT) TEC37 series, host Robb Boyd and our expert panel from WWT will answer these questions and more, so you have the tools you need to make your automation robots come to life.

Join host Robb Boyd and a cross-architecture panel of WWT thought leaders from Security, Digital Strategy and Digital Workspace as they introduce the Hybrid Work spectrum, and help organizations better understand both the risks and benefits that long-term remote working presents.  
“Hybrid Work” as a term has taken on new meaning since the pandemic. Hybrid work refers to organizations bringing some workers back to the physical company workplace while other worker groups remain working from home, as well as giving workers the choice to alternate between working at a company site and working remotely. 
In this new TEC37 episode from World Wide Technology (WWT), we introduce the hybrid work spectrum as a framework to help IT leaders prioritize the competing demands of optimizing for remote work and being ready for returning workers.

Over the past 10 years there have been tremendous advancements in Optical and Routing technologies. We have gone from large, power hungry 40G and 100G line card-based modules, to today’s extremely power efficient, 400G-ZR+ pluggable optics. By pairing 400G-ZR+ optics with high density, low power routing platforms, we wonder: have the optical and routing stars finally aligned? In this new TEC37 episode from World Wide Technology (WWT), listen in as host Robb Boyd and WWT experts, John Chiarini and Mike DiVincenzo discuss these changing dynamics in optical and routing technologies.

Business and technology executives are challenged with aligning business goals, increased dependence on technology and the responsibility to secure the organizations most important assets. As any breach report can attest, this is a complicated task that requires a balance of understanding the business risks and goals, managing technology tied into the responsibility to secure the organization and its assets.

As the world evolves and becomes more remote, an app often serves as the only way a customer communicates. They bank, communicate, research, entertain and manage everything through the aperture of an “application.” This new interaction model puts the app front and center, making app loyalty the new brand loyalty. So, gone are the days of monitoring and managing apps in isolated silos, and welcome to a world where creating enterprise architectures to serve and create unified visibility into the app is the new reality. In this episode (part 1 of 3), Robb Boyd along with WWT’s Tanner Bechtel and AppDynamics’ Gregg Ostrowski, dive into what AIOps is and the current state of your brand.
