Business benefits
| Features | Advantages | Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Centralized workload control and management | Manages a high number of heterogeneous application and system tasks, workload activities and services enterprise-wide from a single point of control | Improves workload coordination, workload velocity and operations control. Helps to better align IT with business objectives to improve performance and reduce costs |
| Integration with Tivoli Workload Scheduler and Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS® | Single point for enterprise-wide workload planning, initiation, management and optimization | Increases efficiency of the IT infrastructure, administrators and operators |
| Event driven scheduling | Ability to manage real-time event-triggered workloads in addition to calendar-triggered workloads | Reduces TCO in common event-triggered scheduling scenarios |
| Up-to-the-minute information on job status and statistics | Simplified troubleshooting | Faster resolution of scheduling issues |
IBM Tivoli® Workload Automation enables you to easily manage composite business and IT workloads that have complex dependencies spanning multiple applications, systems and business units — including mainframe, distributed and high-performance grid computing environments. You can dynamically trigger and dispatch workloads to the best available resources to achieve desired business goals, responding in real time to changing business demands. As part of IBM Service Management, Tivoli Workload Automation supports your initiatives to respond to changes with greater flexibility, to optimize service availability and resiliency, and control costs by maximizing hardware and software utilization.
Tivoli Workload Automation allows you to control unattended batch jobs according to extensive planning policies, and to transform them into dynamically executed services triggered by any number of application or system events. It protects your ability to deliver mission-critical services by automatically restarting disrupted workloads, and adapting service delivery to changes in the IT infrastructure by brokering workloads to best available IT resources.
Tivoli Workload Automation is built on a service-oriented architecture (SOA) to help you transform service delivery for even greater innovation and advantage to your organization. It enables you to better manage and control online services, and to integrate batch services with online services. Now you can drive all enterprise workloads according to business policies and dynamically adapt delivery to changes in the underlying infrastructure while resolving workload dependencies – even in the most complex, composite service environments.
When you use Tivoli Workload Automation to automate your enterprise’s entire production workload — not just the batch subset — you help optimize efficiencies and control over composite workloads, increase workload velocity and optimize hardware and software usage.
Automate and manage composite batch and online workloads delivered over mainframe and distributed applications and systems, and high performance computing (HPC) grids
Integrate workload management for enterprise resource planning (ERP) and custom applications to align workload planning and execution with business processes
Create a virtual IT resource pool to dynamically manage and route workloads to best available resources based on business policies and resource health to increase workload velocity and optimize IT resource use
Provide a virtual point of control for batch, near-real-time and real-time workloads for greater visibility, repeatability and control over the delivery of IT and business services
Improve the availability of business services by dynamically adapting execution of workloads to unplanned changes in the IT infrastructure
Easily integrate workload automation with other IBM and non-IBM products to monitor workload events in a business service context or to provide even higher levels of data center automation
