Investigate the potentials of automatization for the network layer in computation centers based on the use case of TU Wien. Automation comprises configuration management, update management and other areas. Based on qualitative methodology, gather an understanding of the current state, investigate the state-of-the-art and based on this information, perform a gap analysis that leads to a list of potentials for improvement. Please note that this theses need not include an implementation part. Requires good knowledge of state of the art network management.
