Workload Automation: Helping Cloud Computing Take Flight

Businesses are moving workloads out of traditional data centers and into the cloud as they seek to become more agile and cost-effective. Cloud computing provides an alternative model for IT infrastructure and application sourcing and delivery. However, IT organizations that leverage cloud computing may also be overlooking another big opportunity. That's because many data centers are using the cloud to host applications and data storage but typically aren't using the cloud to process batch computing workloads. These workloads represent one of the more mission-critical and complex tasks within the data center.
