Workload Automation Architecture

Design an automation environment that can scale with your enterprise.

Teksio helps define the architecture, integration model and operating design before implementation begins, with the workload and business process at the center.

Architecture context

Architecture starts with the workload.

The architecture needs to account for workload volumes, dependencies, execution patterns, calendars, integrations, availability, security and operational ownership.

Teksio looks beyond the scheduler itself and defines how the platform should support the way workloads actually run.

Architecture scope

Architecture considerations

The design covers the platform, workload, integration and operating layers that make automation dependable.

Platform architecture

Environment structure, components, agents, execution model and high availability requirements.

Workload architecture

Job dependencies, workflows, calendars, parameters and reusable automation patterns.

Integration architecture

Application interfaces, APIs, databases, file transfers and cross-platform dependencies.

Security & access

Roles, credentials, permissions and separation of responsibilities.

Operations architecture

Monitoring, alerting, recovery, support ownership and operational processes.

Modern WLA architecture

Design for where the environment is going.

Architecture also needs to account for the move from established on-premise scheduling environments toward cloud, hybrid and SaaS operating models.

On-premise to cloud

Assess workload dependencies and operating implications before changing the hosting model.

SaaS Redwood

Design around the target operating model when adopting Redwood RunMyJobs as a SaaS workload automation platform.

Future-ready automation

Create patterns that can scale as workloads, applications and business requirements change.
