Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for Cisco UCS 
Manager 

Introduction to Cisco Enterprise Scheduling and Adapters 

IT operations that focus on business process automation involve integration of 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 workload scheduling solutions to control batch and event-based data processing 

and infrastructure operations. These are vital to the success of sales, manufacturing, and financial-management 

business tasks. 

Cisco

®

 Tidal Enterprise Scheduler (TES) has defined standards for workload usability, scalability, and breadth of 

coverage. The role of the many adapters available for Cisco TES is to make connectivity, control, and visibility of 

diverse technologies accessible directly through the Cisco TES user interface. The breadth of coverage these 

adapters provide simplifies end-to-end scheduling of processes across the enterprise. 

Product Overview 

Data center resource management has become difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone. It requires careful 

coordination among a number of subject-matter experts, including server, network, and storage administrators. 

Today, even in organizations striving to move toward methodologies based on Information Technology 

Infrastructure Library (ITIL) concepts, administrators often must use separate element managers to configure each 

component manually. Cisco UCS

®

 Manager provides unified and embedded management of all software and 

hardware components of the Cisco Unified Computing System

™

 (Cisco UCS). It integrates computing, networking, 

storage access, and virtualization resources in a single, cohesive system. 

Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for Cisco UCS Manager allows users to schedule Cisco UCS Manager component 

infrastructure jobs through Cisco TES. They can use its capabilities to automate, simplify, and improve job 

scheduling and workload performance. The adapter integrates with Cisco UCS Manager using the XML API. It 

automates Cisco UCS Manager activities for blade and rack server management in the form of Cisco UCS 

Manager jobs. 

Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for Cisco UCS Manager enables users of Cisco TES to run a set of Cisco UCS 

Manager processes through a single point of control. The adapter allows users to connect Cisco UCS server 

operations to enterprise workloads and define them as part of a business process. It also allows them to define and 

use Cisco UCS server events. Users can schedule and run business processes, manage their required server 

resources, and incorporate them into the data processing environment. In this way, Cisco TES and its adapter for 

Cisco UCS Manager can help reduce operating costs by optimizing server resources and administrative efficiency.
