EMA Radar™ for Workload Automation (WLA)

Hybrid cloud, DevOps, big data and digitalization are driving a need for more sophisticated workload automation, which underpins the consistent delivery of traditional and cutting edge workloads. Modern workloads require more sophistication; data is collected from a greater variety of sources, and the success or failure of job streams can be directly exposed to both business users and customers. Significant enhancements in workload automation (WLA) tools have been added in recent years to address these trends. This Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) RADAR report identifies the thirteen leading WLA platforms and empirically compares and grades them against a broad range of measurements to determine overall product strengths and cost efficiencies.

The 3 D’s of DevOps: Develop, Deploy and Deliver – DELIVER

Uptime isn’t everything; it’s the only thing. With recent IDC research demonstrating the average cost of a critical application failure at between $500K and $1M, the need to keep downtime at bay is clear. Unfortunately, the average number of deployments is expected to double over the next two years putting additional pressure on keeping application running.

This Battlecard looks at how DevOps-led project not only accelerate delivery and deployment, but also can have a positive, serious impact on application quality and uptime. It demonstrates how IBM DevOps tools enhance security and compliance, and what businesses should do today to eliminate downtime as part of a continuous application delivery process.

Unified Monitoring

In the past few years, the enterprise computing landscape has changed dramatically. Virtualization, outsourcing, SaaS and cloud computing are creating fundamental changes, and ushering in an era in which enterprises distribute increasingly critical IT assets and applications across multiple service providers. These changes are rendering legacy monitoring tools, which have their roots in the computing environments of a decade or more ago, virtually useless. This paper explores today’s computing trends and their monitoring implications in detail. In addition, it reveals how CA Unified Infrastructure Management (CA UIM, formerly CA Nimsoft Monitor) uniquely addresses the monitoring realities of today’s and tomorrow’s enterprises—whether they rely on internal platforms, external service providers or a combination of both.
