Elevate multi-cloud efficiency with workload automation
Cloud apps and virtual resources are already critical to day-to-day operations, and cloud adoption continues to rise. Managing these systems can be time-consuming and expensive — they drive up costs and worsen workload bottlenecks that impact business.
With ActiveBatch, you can integrate and automate workloads across multiple platforms from a single point of control. ActiveBatch offers tools and features to help IT teams easily and reliably manage cloud-based workflows and resources across on-premises, cloud and hybrid environments.
Integrate with cloud platforms and virtual machine providers
Cloud service providers supported by ActiveBatch include:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) EC2
- Microsoft Azure
- Hyper-V
- VMware
- And more…
Plus, the ActiveBatch Service Library allows users to connect to API endpoints in minutes, allowing for no-code tie-ins with providers like Google Cloud, Rackspace or other SaaS/PaaS cloud management platforms.
How to use ActiveBatch intelligence for multi-cloud cost optimization
ActiveBatch leverages advanced intelligence to streamline your resource utilization across diverse computing environments. Its built-in sophisticated tools provide you with the power to scale and optimize your cloud-native and hybrid cloud solutions.
Dynamically scale virtual and cloud resources with Smart Queue
ActiveBatch offers flexible, scalable tools that monitor and manage virtual machines(VMs) and private- and public-cloud resources. Its Smart Queue dynamically scales machine resources up or down based on real-time demands and historical analyses.
With Smart Queue, your IT team can optimize virtual and cloud environments while minimizing cloud costs.
Wisely utilize resources using Heuristic Queue Allocation
ActiveBatch’s Heuristic Queue Allocation (HQA) allows for seamless machine scalability by bringing the power of machine learning to workload automation. HQA analyzes historical instance data and predicts the optimal allocation of systems across on-prem, private cloud and public cloud resources.
By optimizing job placement in a hybrid IT environment, HQA improves job performance and can sharply reduce slack time. This maximizes resource usage while minimizing the costs associated with cloud computing.
Eliminate job placement guesswork
As IT environments scale, it becomes ineffective and time-consuming to manually search for machines capable of completing certain jobs. With ActiveBatch Dynamic Queue Characteristics, users can instruct ActiveBatch to evaluate multiple machines before jobs are sent to run.
You can evaluate machines at run time for characteristics like available disk space, registry values or the presence of an active service. No matter how many servers you’re managing, ActiveBatch will quickly and reliably submit each job to the optimal machine.
Improved insight to support DevOps
ActiveBatch does more than offer orchestration and provisioning for hybrid cloud environments. It also improves DevOps with hundreds of no-code integrations with data center management tools, BI and ERP tools and more. Developers have a single location to build and automate all enterprise applications, cloud deployments and IT services. At the same time, operators have better control over IT operations with a unified management interface. These diverse use cases demonstrate how ActiveBatch supports your entire DevOps function.
Plus, dozens of real-time views minimize time-to-insight and reveal problems faster. Your admins and decision-makers can rest easy, knowing their cloud strategy and multi-cloud environments are scaling smoothly and their business end users stay online.
Empower end users with a self-service portal
The ActiveBatch Self-Service Portal gives business users safe, direct access to cloud management solutions while keeping IT in control. Here's how:
- IT builds low-code workflows that connect to one or more cloud providers.
- IT provision machines to provided specs to align with access management protocol.
- Your workflows trigger as needed without relying on the IT team.
- ActiveBatch controls the complete lifecycle from development to provisioning to complete audit trails and log files.
Scale with Amazon Web Services Marketplace templates
ActiveBatch’s AWS Marketplace AMIs, available for instant use, allow for environment scaling without the need for software installs or machine upkeep and without costly and time-consuming procurement for on-premises IT infrastructure.
Combining ActiveBatch’s powerful automation capabilities and flexible framework with Amazon’s highly reliable, elastic cloud, you can quickly adapt to changing business needs at any scale.
