About a month ago now, we announced that OpsWise Automation Center is, in fact, the first Workload Automation broker to be fully enabled for cloud deployment.

With our new Summer release (coming soon!) Automation Center can be centrally deployed in the cloud and control resources in the cloud and also back in your data center. Alternatively, you can keep Automation Center deployed on-premise, and connect to resources in the cloud.

We also took it one step further - dynamic registry of newly provisioned servers into Automation Center - and newly registered agents are automatically assigned to work queues for immediate allocation of workload.

It's a significant step forward from what is considered possible. Why was it so easy for us to achieve?

1. As a solution designed and architected within the past 12 months, we follow the web and architecuture standards of today
2. 100% Web-based. No thick client, no socket to reconfigure, no ODBC driver to fiddle with. Just pop up your browser, and presto, instant access
3. Our agents were designed to auto-register to begin with. Extending smart agents is much easier than dumb ones
4. Adherence to modern security standards - fully support for SSL end-to-end ensured our message security played nice on the web, and now, in the cloud!
5. A desire to innovate & consistent communication with our clients, many of which, are cutting edge, rapidly growing 21st century data centers

The result? OpsWise in the cloud. While the cloud may not be for everyone today - we are seeing more and more examples of how enterprises can leverage workload in the cloud. And we're there - today.
