COSbatch is used by
IT services in enterprises running Unix, Linux and Windows systems
for their automated job scheduling
and application automation service,
hosted by and managing any number of networked servers as execution
resources.
It is a secure batch processing environment for
applications of any complexity to run unattended.
Batch job scheduling has been long used in mainframe
datacenters. Gartner cite job scheduling as being the most
mature of the technologies in their "Hype Cycle for IT
Operations Processes and Tools". COSbatch provides the
same facilities in datacenters where multiple, distributed,
heterogeneous servers are used to execute tasks often organized
into job suites.
It is not simply
mainframe-replacement that continues to drive the need for job
scheduling products. The recent demands of compliance projects contribute to a
significant demand in this area.
To satisfy compliance requirements, data
center managers must be able to guarantee the security and integrity
of applications and their data. Using COSbatch – with its own access controls and
built-in auditing mechanisms – protects the unattended
application runtime environment from both malicious and
unintended interference. Data center managers can guarantee
integrity of data and be sure that processing schedules have
not been disrupted nor interfered with.
