Easily Schedule VMware Jobs
Simplify VMware job scheduling with Cisco Tidal Enterprise Adapter for VMware, software that works with Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler.
Virtual machine (VM) scheduling is difficult because processes have to run correctly each time despite the dynamic environment. The Cisco Tidal scheduler and this adapter form an effective VMware scheduler to meet that challenge:
- You can define jobs that interpret the dynamic environment and automatically execute processes.
- It supports jobs for managing VMs themselves, and jobs that form business processes (Figure 1).
- You define and track VMware jobs through the Enterprise Scheduler along with other jobs, for a contextual view of VM scheduling.
This VMware scheduler advances the goal of deploying VMs in the first place, which is to increase efficiency.
