!!WARNING: DEEP SYSADMIN CUTS AHEAD!!

Back in the early 2000s, if you were a sysadmin that had to set up desktops or servers, you probably used Norton Ghost to create images.

When virtualization became big, that process moved to creating VM templates.

But there was still often a lot of manual intervention in these tasks - password setting, BIOS updates, vCenter installations and more. As the IT world moves more and more towards automating software tasks, what about automating infrastructure provisioning? Sure, there's cloud, but what if you're still on-prem?

This week, Rob Hirschfeld of RackN joins us to discuss how RackN helps automate the previously un-automate-able.
