Workload Automation: What Is It?
An automation technology called IBM Workload Automation combines business, operational, and IT workflows to maximise orchestration for the execution of event-driven and unattended procedures designed to function in hybrid settings. With graphical views, embedded analytics, and configurable dashboards, IBM Workload Automation offers a single point of control for your automated tasks. Its user-friendly interface lets users model, manage, and keep an eye on their workloads.
Advantages
Optimize workload management
Centralising management and doing away with manual tasks would improve decision-making and cut expenses because any unattended processes can be scheduled via events or on demand.
Single point of control
To consolidate operations team procedures and integrate with monitoring and alerting technologies, keep an eye on all corporate processes from a single point of control.
Observability of the enterprise
Boost observability with AI-powered modern monitoring solutions that use open standards to facilitate data collecting utilising tools like Instana for improved IT system management.
Management and optimisation of resources
By centralising resource management and optimising workloads in a hybrid deployment paradigm, the orchestration of business and IT tasks aids in better decision-making.
Proactively addressing, cleaning up, and preventing incidents
Connect business and IT systems using one-stop automation modelling to detect workload anomalies and accomplish successful task outputs.
Use Cases
Analysis of Anomalies
provides warnings for anomaly detection, a user interface for historical data analysis of tasks and work stations, and the ability to detect any problems in scheduled jobs and workflows early.
Advisor for AI Data
Workloads using AI-powered data benefit from anomaly detection, which improves the operating experience.
Workload Designer
Every scheduling item may be designed using a single access point with a new modelling user interface in the Dynamic Workload Console.
Describe jobs
An easy-to-use interface for defining Automation Hub integration plug-in jobs.
What-if analysis
