What Is Workload Automation?

Workload automation (WLA) is one of the cornerstones of today’s data center architecture – with WLA systems, IT processes are streamlined, scheduled and orchestrated, bridging the growing diversity of IT platforms.

What Is Workload Automation?

Workload automation refers to the process of automating the scheduling, execution and monitoring of tasks and processes within the IT environment. It encompasses a range of activities, including job scheduling, batch processing, file transfers and application integration, aimed at optimizing workload management and resource utilization. Workload automation solutions enable organizations to streamline their operations, improve efficiency and ensure the timely and accurate execution of critical tasks across various systems and applications. 

The growing number of workflows and platforms causes obstacles for the auditability and traceability of IT processes: Every initiated task of a workload automation system is creating its own protocol file, called “job log” or “job output”. The job log or job output contains important information for the immediate or later analysis of the executed tasks. However, the management of the created log files presents some challenges. Each job output must be safely collected and correlated to its containing IT process, all log files must be stored compliantly for many years and for the efficient retrieval of single events, powerful query and review capabilities are needed.
