Kubrick’s Space Odyssey & ZPE’s Automation Blueprint

Have you seen the classic film 2001: A Space Odyssey? Its creators, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke, predicted that automation might spell doom for those who rely on it. This is the same reason why IT teams are so fearful to automate their environments — one mistake could bring down the entire business.

With a little help from the movie, we put together a video that explores this story. We unveiled this video at Cisco Live along with our out-of-band automation blueprint that helps enterprises achieve ~100% uptime. This blueprint has been proven by 6 of the top 10 tech giants to deliver more resilient network IT.

Visit our Cisco Live recap page to watch the video, read the press release, get the blueprint, and even win a HAL 9000-inspired t-shirt.
