Automating Infinidat storage with Ansible
To increase business velocity, large enterprises are moving toward automation for all aspects of their IT infrastructure, and data storage is no exception. As part of a comprehensive suite of host integrations, Infinidat’s native Ansible collections make it simple to manage InfiniBox™ file and block storage in Ansible environments.
