Introducing Workload Automation on Cloud
IBM Workload Automation automates, monitors and controls workflows throughout the enterprise IT infrastructure. This leading software automation tool can manage hundreds of thousands of workloads a day from a single point of control. It helps you better align IT with business objectives to improve performance and reduce costs.
- Establish an enterprise workload automation backbone by driving composite workloads with pre-packaged applications
- Workload Automation on Cloud is
a complete solution for workload automation hosted in the cloud. Use
it to gain flexibility to drive workload on hosted servers, seamlessly
with no cost of ownership for your central server. Interfaces dedicated
to persons with different business focus, like application developers
and operators, provide power and autonomy without having to delve
into complicated details. At the same time, to handle complicated
cases and deeply customized processes, they can exploit all the power
and flexibility of the complete IBM Workload Automation family.
Granular security rights and mobile presentation interfaces help improve
the relationship between application teams and business operations
as they work through different interfaces on the same model. Use Workload Automation on Cloud to:
- Shift investment to innovation by lowering total cost of ownership.
- Deliver faster access to service management solutions.
- Increase speed and efficiency with instant and ongoing scalability on the hosting platform, SoftLayer.
- A solution for you
- Workload Automation on Cloud exploits
the cloud infrastructure to help you to learn by viewing screenshots
and in-depth capability videos, to explore by exercising specific
scenarios by using live demos, and to try the offerings with user
data through a free trial. The Cloud offering contains simple starter
applications to cover immediate customer needs. These starter applications
provide you with business value and do not require you to learn concepts
from workload automation, such as the flow of execution or the writing
of conditions. You can create and handle such applications with dedicated
trimmed down interfaces. As your needs become more complex, you can
learn the powerful concepts of workload automation to write business
processes directly into the product. Use Workload Automation on Cloud to address
complexity challenges without any substantial up-front investment. Workload Automation on Cloud is the
solution for:
- Agile divisions inside large Fortune 500 companies that have the autonomy to choose their solution for automation and efficiency optimizations.
- Customers wanting to move out of a competitive solution but who are worried about the IT investment.
- Companies with a high awareness of the value-generating part of their business that want to keep only that value-generating part, trim down all other expenses, and receive them as a service.
- The value you gain
- Use Workload Automation on Cloud to
have:
- Immediate access to default applications to solve common problems and learn more advanced uses.
- No up-front CAPEX investment on hardware and software licenses and no installation and upgrade costs. Low, predictable, flat-cost model with no up-front software acquisition charges.
- Lower skill requirements because IBM assumes the infrastructure support role.
- Lower total cost of ownership (TCO) due to reduced deployment, administration, training, and integration costs.
- Ability to achieve flexibility and risk mitigation by utilizing the Cloud model as a simple trial option before moving to full on-premise adoption.
- Enhanced time to value with a single installation and maintenance process.
- Reduced complexity and increased convenience. IBM takes care of upkeep, patches, and upgrades, allowing clients to focus on other work and maintain a lean IT organization.
- Faster time to value through preconfigured, rapidly deployable instances and quick start content and capabilities, as well as predefined, fixed cost implementation packages.
