HCL Workload Automation on Amazon Web Services: a solution suitable for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud environments

The number of organizations that are looking to the Cloud IT model is growing. There are multiple deployment strategies: public, private, hybrid or multi-cloud. 

In the public cloud computing model, the organizations use services located offsite and shared among multiple customers. 

In the private cloud computing model, the organizations use their own cloud computing services or dedicated services offered by a cloud provider. 
In the hybrid cloud computing models, the organizations blend elements of both public and private clouds. 

In the multi-cloud computing model, the organizations use a mix of public, private or hybrid cloud solutions, but do not necessarily use different types of clouds. In this model, for example, an organization might use more than one public cloud provided by multiple vendor. 

Organizations using hybrid multi-cloud solutions may shift workloads between clouds, on as-needed basis, to capture cost savings or handle bursts in demand. They can leverage the service that is the most cost-effective when they need it. Moreover, there are benefits related not only to cost savings but also in supporting business objectives such as continuity, disaster recovery and optimization.

Hybrid multi-cloud solutions are growing rapidly, with many organizations seeing it as their preferred option for business-critical workloads.  

With HCL Workload Automation ability to seamlessly manage and control business-critical application on-premises and on cloud from a single point, organizations can take steps now to make the eventual move to the hybrid cloud as quickly, painlessly, and cost-effectively as possible. 

To respond to the growing request to make automation opportunities more accessible, HCL Workload Automation is now offered on the Amazon Web Services cloud. The offering includes two different Linux Amazon Machine Images (AMI): 

• Full Stack, a ready-to-use stack including an IBM DB2 installation.
