Business benefits
IBM® Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker extends our leading workload automation portfolio. Take workload automation to the next level by transforming static IT scheduling networks into dynamic, virtualized environments.
IBM Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker improves operational efficiency by eliminating the manually intensive process of planning workload assignments throughout multiple, heterogeneous resources and by dynamically routing workloads to the best available resources. Help your organization improve operational resiliency and strengthen your ability to meet stringent service level agreements by automatically adapting workload execution to unplanned changes in the underlying IT infrastructure. Improve return on investment by increasing workload velocity and utilization of existing IT resources. Facilitate the portability of workload throughout qualification environments.
Built on a service-oriented architecture, IBM Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker helps you align and integrate workloads with enterprise-scale business services. Open Web Services and Java™ interfacing enables integration with virtually any business application or middleware. IBM Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker is ideally suited to grid computing environments because it automatically distributes workloads throughout dynamically shifting, cross-enterprise resource pools.
Tivoli Dynamic Workload Broker provides:
Autonomic routing of workloads for heterogeneous IT resources.
The ability to define workload optimization policies, leading to better management of dynamic resource allocations to meet Service Level Agreements.
Automated discovery of newly added IT resources that are available for workload execution.
Full IBM Enterprise Workload Manager integration.
Support for WebSphere® environments to schedule Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition (J2EE) business applications.
