Simplify Your Windows Environment with Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform

Consistent. Easy. Efficient.

Imagine the efficiency gains you could make with a single tool to automate Active Directory (AD) and Windows, as well as other systems – like Linux®, virtual machines (VMs), and networking devices.

Red Hat® Ansible® Automation Platform brings it all together in a single automation platform that eliminates the complexity and inefficiencies that lead to solution sprawl, workflow bottlenecks, and communication gaps across teams. In fact, your Windows administrators can apply their expertise without needing to speak Linux.

Unfamiliar with IT Automation?

IT automation uses repeatable instructions to replace high-volume manual work. This could be a single task, groups of tasks, or even a complex orchestration of tasks. The key purpose is to help overburdened staff regain control and shift their focus from tedious day-to-day matters to strategic initiatives and more interesting and rewarding challenges.

In the end, IT automation can help staff better perform their roles, advance their knowledge and skills, and increase job satisfaction.
