Current IT Challenges

IT cannot respond flexibly to business needs

IT services exceed cost targets

Business turns to external providers outside IT’s control

Service levels, compliance, cost and risk are difficult to balance

What is Workload Automation?

Job Schedulers or Batch Processing Software traditionally submits workloads on date and time dependencies.

Workload Automation or WLA is an evolution of these schedulers. WLA coordinates a varied set of workload types with complex dependencies across a broad spectrum of operating systems and application platforms. - WLA provides real-time workloads at the same

time taking in consideration Date and Time SLAs Critical path analysis Possible future issues


Large Scale Cloud Service is initiated through the Control-M portal – alongside non-cloud batch jobs

App request is initiated in CLM through the CLM APIs

App is defined as a service blueprint with an understanding of its batch processing requirements

The Service Governor takes capacity information and the App Service Blueprint and provisions it locally – or to the public cloud

Control-M gains control of the workload, and orchestrates the batch processing on schedule

When additional resources are required, Control-M integrates with the CLM APIs to scale the environment

After the batch is complete, Control-M de-provisions the resources through the CLM APIs

Control-M and CLM work together to enable large scale batch processing in the cloud
