Bringing Virtual Machine Orchestration into the Workload Automation Environment
In a virtualized environment, host servers often support anywhere from dozens to hundreds of VMs.
Coordinating the availability of hosts through power management, preserving and restoring machine states
through snapshots, and configuring servers for specific tasks can be challenging. As a result, managing
workloads in virtualized environments create significant issues for a scheduling solution. Using Cisco Workload
Automation can access all applications and systems and supports the reliable functioning of the virtualized
environment itself becomes more critical than ever to the successful execution of business processes.
Cisco Workload Automation Adapter for VMware connects to both ESX Server and VMware virtual infrastructure
web services. In so doing, it manages VM, and hosts operations, and it brings them into the framework of the
enterprise workload processing environment. VMware operations are managed through the Cisco Workload
Automation browser-based interface through which all workloads are managed.
Use of the adapter extends the reach of Cisco Workload Automation by simplifying workload management in
virtualized environments. In addition, the adapter supports events that can be used to automate a response to
changes in power states and/or host and guest performance conditions.
Table 1 below lists the VMware operations that the adapter can manipulate and add to complex automated
workload that include ERP, business intelligence, data integration, data exchange and database jobs.
