OpsWise Releases Workload Automation Broker for Cloud Computing

OpsWise announced the release of a Workload Automation Broker for the cloud. With this announcement OpsWise Software, the developers of Automation Center, confirm full support for cloud computing infrastructures.
 
There is a need for workload automation as enterprises shift workload to the cloud as it is mission-critical. It is possible to keep the automation center fully deployed as a cloud solution or it can be managed as a cloud resource from a traditional data center. Automation center can also automatically identify resources and transmit workload to such resources for providing workload portability.
 
This release will enable enterprises to fully deploy OpsWise Automation Center in cloud-based infrastructures and at the same time integrate with existing operating systems and applications which are present in traditional data centers or in the cloud. In addition, the technology will help organizations identify newly provisioned servers and automatically assign workload when these resources are available in the cloud.
 
“The nature of workload continues to evolve,” said Gwyn Clay, vice president of product management at OpsWise Software, in a statement. “Traditional Workload Automation and Enterprise Job Scheduling solutions have not adapted to the dynamic and portable nature of emerging applications. OpsWise has provided a solution to enable enterprises to automate and integrate with this new world while continuing to manage their existing workload.”
 
Many companies have been employing OpsWise Automation Center for automating complex workflows across Operating Systems, GRID systems, J2EE and RDBMS systems.
 
“By building automation center on the Web standards of today, we have successfully leapfrogged the competition in terms of architecture, security, and deployment,” said Jim Sievers, chief executive officer of OpsWise Software, in a statement. “Cloud computing is a key component for the workload of tomorrow. This is the first of many announcements from OpsWise over the upcoming months relating to managing this new workload.”
 
OpsWise Software strives to enable enterprises to manage workload in Cloud Computing and Internet-Driven environments. OpsWise Automation Center is a Web-based workload automation broker and job scheduler. It can automate workload on a wide range of operating systems, relational databases, and applications, in environments ranging from traditional data centers to pure cloud computing configurations.
