Workload Automation is concerned with the next generation of job scheduling and enabling real-time infrastructure and real-time enterprise.

Recently, there has been an emergence of IT Workload Automation Brokers that deal with scheduling real-time and end-process orchestration, as well as managing both offline and online applications. However, Workload Automation is not just about data center operations management. It is about extending management beyond the normal operating platforms to the database behind applications and messaging services. Workload Automation solutions need to integrate with these types of applications, because these are the platforms that are driving workloads.
