EnterpriseSCHEDULE
EnterpriseSCHEDULE Overview

ISE is extending the boundaries of automated job scheduling with the preeminent scheduler for Windows, OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris and Linux. Each platform incorporates ISE's unparalleled reputation in the management and automated scheduling of vast quantities of interdependent tasks. This, along with unmatched support and the experience of more than 25 years in the business, comprise a scheduling package you won't want to live without.

In today's dynamic environments, where thousands of tasks are processed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, EnterpriseSCHEDULE is the job scheduler of choice. While most scheduling software runs on only one platform, EnterpriseSCHEDULE is the scheduler that spans the widest spectrum, with OpenVMS, Tru64 UNIX, HP-UX, AIX, Solaris, Windows and Linux versions that fully integrate with each other through the use of a common data format. So regardless of the platform, the controlling central server is able to manage job activity to the high standards ISE customers have grown to expect. In fact, ISE has made each version of the client so similar in functionality, there's virtually no learning curve in migrating from one platform to another.

This unparalleled capability allows consistency to be maintained throughout a company's enterprise, reducing or eliminating the learning curve required in mastering an advanced job scheduler on multiple platforms. The software fully integrates across platforms through the use of a common data format. The controlling server is able to manage all job activity to the high standards ISE customers have grown to expect, regardless of platform. This includes a wide range of time based, resource dependent and variable scheduling options that add unmatched versatility and simplicity to your jobs.

Six popular platforms, same quality and ease of use

EnterpriseSCHEDULE is a job scheduling solution that initiates, monitors and tracks job activity on OpenVMS, Windows, AIX, Solaris, Linux, HP-UX and Tru64 UNIX platforms. The database can be distributed over the entire network, eliminating any single point of failure. Job processing can be executed locally on individual nodes or distributed across any combination of these platforms from a central server. Jobs can be scheduled at any interval, on a named day basis or using a calendar with marks for run days.

The software fully integrates across platforms through the use of a common data format. The controlling server is able to manage all job activity to the high standards ISE customers have grown to expect, regardless of platform. Each version of the client was engineered with the user in mind with a consistent user interface that requires virtually no cross training when migrating from one platform to another.

Applications can be developed into highly reliable `fault tolerant' job sets, ideally suited to the emerging trend for `lights out' operations and `hands off' solutions. EnterpriseSCHEDULE eliminates the need for regular operator attendance and effectively makes these applications self correcting. It does so by taking remedial action automatically when a fault occurs and running jobs through to their termination

Reliability

With thousands of critical tasks on the line, system reliability is integral to data center operations. Companies can be assured of 24 x 365 resilience with the hot-swap capabilities; multi-site, disaster-tolerant clusters; and dynamic server resource reallocation of OpenVMS on AlphaServer systems. EnterpriseSCHEDULE also works continuously without any resets, so cluster rollover capabilities are automatically available in the system.

Scalability

In todays dynamic business climate, companies need an affordable system now that can accommodate theirfuture growth requirements. EnterpriseSCHEDULE is highly scalable, accommodating unpredictable and massive growth. EnterpriseSCHEDULE utilizes today's dynamic processor allocation features via automatic scheduling to meet the job load. In the meantime, the quantity of automated jobs can scale right along with a system as it expands.
