RealOps: IT Process Automation Software
The InteropNET is more than just a production network feeding the show floor, class rooms and meeting rooms at the Interop trade show. Traditionally its also been a big sandbox to test out emerging technologies. One of the InteropNET Team long time members brought in RealOps to show how they can automate just about anything that a sysadmin would want to do with recurring processes.

Steve Bavington of RealOps twisted a few arms to jump into the fray at HotStage (In Belmont, California where we pre-build the InteropNET) and dropped in a RealOps server to help the team automate the on the fly reconfiguration of the GigaMon box at the show. In this case the process on the RealOps server had a web front end that would allow us to click on a button to reconfigure the GigaVue so that the tap between our external router and our primary switch would get swapped to a different analysis tool.
