Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler 

 

Product Overview 

Data center automation is critically important to IT departments that are focused on unifying and standardizing their 

operations management. Automation technology supports data center initiatives because it helps simplify day-to-

day operations, reduces costs, and promotes IT and business flexibility. 

Workload scheduling is an important category of IT operations management that gives organizations the control 
and visibility necessary to operate today’s dynamic data centers. Automation of business process workloads is 

essential to complex data centers because it helps them operate more efficiently and reliably. Cisco

 Tidal 

Enterprise Scheduler (TES) is the industry-standard workload automation (WLA) solution, transparently automating 

critical scheduled and event-based interdependent business processes. 

Cisco TES connects to heterogeneous environments, creating an infrastructure service platform, providing end-to-

end management of critical operation tasks and data throughput. With this enterprise wide scheduling solution that 

automates complex processes and adapts to changing environments, IT managers can quickly add business value 

by improving the quality of service-level agreement (SLA) delivery, reallocating resources to business-critical 

projects, and supplying the accurate data-processing results necessary for strategic decision making. This 

approach to workload management dramatically reduces human errors and the inefficiencies of script 

management. 

Cisco TES is an automation platform for cross-application and cross-platform operational workloads, batch-job 

scheduling, and data-integration throughput. Cisco TES can easily configure and run scheduled workloads and 

event-based business processes, integrate the commercial and custom applications these processes use, and 

determine which tasks to run - and where and when to run them - without the need for human intervention, 

customization of existing tools, or knowledge of new scripting languages. Additionally, Cisco TES provides a single 

view and point of control for all business processes and the jobs that comprise them. 

Developed as an n-tier Java architecture application, Cisco TES can scale to meet the most demanding SLAs. It is 

currently in production worldwide, handling hundreds of concurrent users, managing thousands of connections, 

and running hundreds of thousands of jobs a day. The scheduler connects to and can manage complex workloads 

on many popular OS platforms and integrates with major enterprise applications and standards-based technologies 

(Figure 1). Cisco TES can be implemented quickly, allowing users to accelerate time-to-value while simplifying their 

entire workload-processing environment.
