Tidal Workload Automation

What Tidal Workload Automation is

Tidal Workload Automation centralizes job scheduling and workload automation across business, operations, and IT processes. It can run on premises or in the cloud and automate workloads in either setting. Teams can schedule work by time or in response to events such as file arrivals and database changes. The platform includes common calendars and supports unlimited custom calendars.

For job monitoring and recovery, Tidal can alert on job events and initiate recovery actions, email job owners, send console messages, or trigger incident reports when a job fails. It advertises more than 40 prebuilt integrations, including AWS, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, and ServiceNow. Developers can use its API, CLI, and SSH and Web Services adapters to connect applications to enterprise workflows. Security capabilities include enterprise directory authentication, password vault integrations, fine-grained role-based access controls, and policy management. Tidal also supports workflow dependencies, cross-platform execution, SLA monitoring, and audit logs. Its workload automation history began in 1979, and Tidal Software became part of Redwood Software in 2023.
