The VMware Extension for the ActiveBatch Job Scheduler leverages the operational
management and deployment of virtual systems using VMware with a powerful set of
"production ready" job steps from our centralized automation library avoiding the
"hidden expense" associated with custom script development and maintenance.
The VMware Job Steps are extensions to the ActiveBatch Job Library allowing data
center users and developers the ability to easily deploy and maintain virtual systems
while integrating them with other applications, databases and platforms inside or
outside of the VMware infrastructure.
The ActiveBatch VMware Library also includes support for the complete set of VMware
events. VMware events (such as Power Up/Down, Reboot, etc) can trigger ActiveBatch
Plans and/or Jobs to perform a myriad of different tasks. VMware events are just
one of a number of event classes (e.g. File, WMI, Email, MSMQ, Web Services, DB
Trigger, etc) that are already supported by ActiveBatch.
Within the VMware Extensions you can power on a virtual machine, run your workflows
and then power down the virtual machine as needed. You can alter the resources of
an existing machine to manage peak processing periods. By establishing VMware events
you can trigger ActiveBatch Jobs and Plans to perform on-demand processing that
would otherwise require polling and incur time delays.
The ActiveBatch Job Scheduler offers users a centralized point of control over all
of your automation requirements using our versatile drag and drop interface to create
and incorporate all workflows using any jobs, plans or job steps from our Integrated Jobs Library with VMware job steps and events.
* The VMware Job Steps are an extension to the ActiveBatch Integrated Jobs Library
and are licensed separately.
