Your farm has become a “digital farm.” You have sensors everywhere, drones monitoring the fields, applications managing inventory, and even robots milking the cows. It’s bigger, more complex, and it runs 24/7! Here, a simple scheduler is no longer enough; you need to step up to a Workload Automation (WLA) platform, often called SOAP (Service Orchestration and Automation Platform).
Why this big leap? Because the digital enterprise is no longer just about scheduling tasks in a chain; it’s about orchestrating entire symphonies of processes.
Take Axway Automator, for example. It’s designed for this. It helps you master process automation across all systems and clouds.
Orchestration is the key
SOAPs don’t just launch tasks; they coordinate and align multiple automated workflows across various systems to ensure they work cohesively. Axway Automator excels at orchestrating the sequencing of tasks and processes, ensuring their effective interoperability between hybrid systems, iPaaS, and existing ones. It’s like making sure that drones, robots, and applications communicate and work together seamlessly, whether they are on-site or in the cloud. We’re talking about end-to-end process management.
The playground is hybrid and multi-cloud
Today, your data and applications are no longer all in one silo. They are everywhere: on your servers, at AWS, Azure, in SaaS. Axway Automator operates in on-site, public, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments. It offers integrations with major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. It simplifies the centralized management of the entire infrastructure.
Data pipeline management, a lifeline
In the digital world, data is gold. Axway Automator is designed for automating file transfers and orchestrating the ingestion and processing of multiple data streams.
DevOps and “Jobs-as-Code”
Development and operations (DevOps) teams want to move fast and deliver code smoothly. The scheduler helps by integrating workflows into their toolchains (CI/CD). Axway Automator allows versioning of graphs and instances to fit into a CI/CD approach in a DevOps context. It’s a bit like having the blueprints of your farm directly integrated into the programming of your robots, facilitating rapid evolutions.
Microservices and containers
Applications are increasingly built in small pieces (microservices) and encapsulated in containers (like Kubernetes). A solution like Axway Automator must be able to manage these complex environments, and it is designed to adapt to growing needs, offering great flexibility and scalability.
In short, the scheduler in the digital enterprise is no longer just a simple planner. It’s a strategic backbone that ensures all the digital machinery runs smoothly, with efficiency, flexibility, and reliability. Axway Automator fully embraces this dynamic by enabling the automation, synchronization, and orchestration of end-to-end processes, regardless of technical silos.
