Heavy Networking - Un pódcast de Packet Pushers - Viernes

Categorías:

At NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital, patients are the priority. That focus on patient care extends to the hospital’s campus network, data center, wireless network, and SD-WAN. These networks are instrumental for delivering medical applications and connecting medical devices. On today’s Heavy Networking, we talk with network architects and engineers at NewYork-Presbyterian about their use of automation to operate mission-critical services. We talk about their automation goals, including reducing human error and accelerating the provisioning of new medical devices onto the network. We also talk about automation challenges, how vendors could better support automation instead of just focusing on tools, why automation requires both technical and cultural changes, and more. Topics discussed include: * The hospital’s automation journey and where they still want to go * How automation leads to network stability * Frustrations with vendor tools * Trying to break the CLI habit * How different segments of the network (campus wired, wireless, DC, etc.) are more or less automation-friendly * More This episode was recorded on-site at the AutoCon0 conference in November 2023.
