1. An apparatus, comprising: one or more processors operable to: intercept a first task sent from a task scheduler to a first computing system coupled to the apparatus via a network, the first task specifying one or more actions to be performed by the first computing system; determine a number of active tasks initiated by the task scheduler that are being performed by the first computing system; delay the sending of the first task to the first computing system in response to a determination that the number of active tasks being performed by the first computing system is greater than or equal to a predetermined task limit associated with the first computing system; and an interface communicatively coupled to the processor and operable to: send the first task to the first computing system in response to a determination by the one or more processors that the number of active tasks being performed by the first computing system is less than the predetermined task limit associated with the first computing system.
