1 like383 views
This document discusses balancing a datacenter through feng shui principles and IT automation. It recommends (1) gaining visibility into all systems through monitoring tools to understand the environment, (2) managing the people, processes, and technologies through configurations and standardization, and (3) automating manual processes to simplify operations and allow the datacenter to scale efficiently. The key steps are gaining visibility, enabling management, and incorporating automation to maintain balance as the datacenter grows.
