Orchestrating workloads to ensure optimized and reliable execution of business and IT processes

If was life automation I would have been able to schedule a ready-to-drink espresso each time the alarm rings early in the morning :)

Now that sounds like a great way to use automation!

or like someone said, with workload automation you can forget about "cutting your grass and feeding your cows" :-)

The best way to automate your processes, integrating heterogeneous systems and reducing manual errors

Q2 is posted above. Feel free to keep commenting on this one and scroll up to see the new question.

You may not know, but most of the thinks you are doing everyday are probably possible thanks to IBM workload automation running in backgroud

Very true @FMossottoTWA, 80% of the top Fortune 25 banks use #workloadautomation!

It's all about being able to efficiently manage workloads in a today's hybrid environment

It's a software tool that reduces or eliminates manual intervention and allows us to be more efficient and more productive

It is a software that helps you to "expand your time" avoiding manual operations

It allows to automate repetitive operations and manage
your jobs in the most efficient way.

it allows to control your critical business application unattended

Cloud can be seen simply as a new infrastructure model where the same workloads may need to be managed

A Workload Automation solution need to adapt to cloud infrastructure to run workloads in hybrid environments

and enable dynamic scheduling on pool of systems, automatically provision new machines to manage peaks of workloads

The need to orchestrate and integrate heterogeneous systems is always there.

IBM #ServiceEngage offer a #workloadautomation cloud solution... it can be explored here: https://ibm.biz/smbl...

Thanks @athurl! It sounds like hybrid environments are very beneficial to managing and scaling for big workloads.

If all is on Cloud, IBM Workload Automation on Cloud is perfect to orchestrate that with almost no effort

If there are machine both on Clound and on Premise, just install the agents and IBM Workload Automation on Cloud will handle them in few minutes

@IBMServiceMgmt The impact is double: the WA software itself has to be able to run in the cloud and at the same time has to integrate with all the cloud based services availabe. IBM Workload Automation checks on both this requirements

With workload automation on cloud, you have the opportunity to get the latest Workload Automation features even before classical on-premises users.

That's right Alessandro! Easy integration is a key to success for cloud computing and workload automation.

the question should be, how is workload automation affecting cloud computing!

@netman31111 completely agree Warren :) just think on how the power of #workloadautomation can be used to build application on #cloud with #bluemix

With Cloud Computing it's possible to use the Workload Automation as a Service

I cannot think to #cloud, #SaaS, #pass and #iaas without a scheduling service. The best one IBM #WorkloadAutomation

Getting more intelligent .. cognitive automation that will advise on optimization options

Workload automation will address the needs of everyone, not just of companies.

The mission is always to allow users to do more with less

next thing to automate is automation itself... what can YOU automate?

the possibility of #automating processes will be available to everyone, everywhere, everytime through #mobile and #selfservice automation

Internet of Things will need to be automated too.

there won't be any technology, which cannot be automated

I dream of the day when I can automate my house cleaning like the Jetson's!

Key strategies with opportunities: analytics to support intelligent decisions, hybrid with automation integrated in every channels, mobile.

@AmandaTene if @iRobot 's Roomba has any API support we can start working on a solution based on IBM Workload Automation :)

That is excellent news! If only Roomba scrubbed bathrooms too haha

Today, Analytics and Job Prediction are used for What-If scenarios by IBM Workload Scheduler. For instance you can understand what happens to your plan if some of your workstation are unavailable during a certain time interval.

Predictive Capabilities in job scheduling allows you to be proactive rather then reactive: it's easier to extinguish a small fire and almost impossible to manage it when the whole building is burning

The new what-if allows to predict impact of an outage on your workload with just few clicks

Are analytics built into the IBM #WorkloadAutomation solution (cloud or on-prem) or an add-on?

You can be alerted if some issues may impact your critical workload

if you don't take the right actions when you see a potential delay of you critical job, you can trigger a domino effect that can put the in jeopardy the reputation of your company !

Q5 is posted above but feel free to keep commenting on this question.

Yes, Analytics capabilities are built in the IBM solutions

Analytics is coming out of the box with IBM #WorkloadAutomation, you don't have to purchase any additional component or product

Our solution manage millions of jobs daily. Those workloads need to run on time, and deal with unattended events. Exploiting the history of workload execution is fundamental to allow greater reliability and optimization of processes.

The new web console of #WorkloadAutomation comes with new #predictive and #analytics functionalities already available.

What if you could find repeating patterns in seemingly random occurrences?

@netman31111 repeating patterns could be easliy spotted and fixed with new reporting functionalities and the what-if analysis tool. https://ibm.biz/BdXv...
