Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapters for Agentless Scheduling
Introduction to Enterprise Scheduling and Adapters
IT operations that focus on the automation of business processes involve integrating a wide range of
custom and enterprise applications and the infrastructure on which they run, often with complex
interdependencies. In such environments IT typically uses job scheduling tools to control batch and on-
interdependencies. In such environments IT typically uses job scheduling tools to control batch and on-
demand event processing, which are vital to the success of a range of business operations from sales to
manufacturing to financial management.
For the past decade, Enterprise Scheduler has been defining standards for job scheduling, usability,
scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Enterprise Scheduler is
scalability, and breadth of coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Enterprise Scheduler is
to make connectivity, control, and visibility of diverse technologies accessible directly through the
Enterprise Scheduler user interface. The breadth of coverage these adapters provides simplifies end-to-
end scheduling of processes across the enterprise.
Product Overview
Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapters for Agentless Scheduling
Cisco Tidal adapters for agentless scheduling extend the reach of Enterprise Scheduler to applications that are, for
various reasons, beyond centralized IT's ow nership or control. Computing e nvironments are becoming more
dispersed and decoupled, and, in many cases, the ability to control a computing resource is limited. Job scheduling
managers are forced to make decisions and connect to resources w ith ever -increasing levels of complex ity, because
target applications are running on resources that cannot be managed w ith traditional locally executable agents.
