COSbatch is a job scheduling and workflow management solution
which can manage the application workload across a population of
networked servers, especially in mid to large size organizations. It schedules
application jobs across any combination of UNIX, Linux or Microsoft
Windows systems and produces the expected benefits in the areas of
efficiency, control, improved service levels, security, auditing and
compliance.
COSbatch ensures that applications run at the appropriate times
and dates and that they run according to any preconditions defined by
combinations of internal and external events, internal conditions
and/or other background process(es). COSbatch is designed for
distributed computing – it enables administrators to manage and
control multiple, inter-dependent batch jobs as coherent suites via a
single console, running in a processing environment which may
comprise any number of execution servers.
By means of its built-in security and audit mechanisms, the use of
COSbatch can contribute significantly to system and data security and
from there can play a big part in compliance projects.
