Automic Automation
Automic Automation orchestrates workloads across hybrid environments, from mainframes to cloud-native systems and microservices.
What Automic Automation is
Automic Automation orchestrates workloads across hybrid environments, from mainframes to cloud-native systems and microservices. It provides centralized control and self-service workflows, with workflow dependencies, event triggers, and cross-platform execution. For service level management, it tracks critical paths, forecasts bottlenecks, and monitors workflows for risks to SLAs. Dedicated Agentic AI Jobs can handle dynamic tasks such as remediation and data routing within Automic object definitions. The platform supports a Bring Your Own Model architecture and can act as both an MCP client and server for external LLMs. Broadcom's Automation Marketplace lists hundreds of pre-built plugins and connectors, including ServiceNow, Oracle, SAP, Google Cloud, and AWS. Deployment options include on-premises, cloud-native Kubernetes containers, and managed Automic SaaS; SaaS provides feature parity with the on-premises product, automatic updates, and no infrastructure to manage. Pricing is on request. Broadcom says product downloads, plugins, extensions, agents, and action packs are available through its Support Portal, while its download REST API is deprecated and Automic Package Manager will no longer install packages directly.
