To effectively and rapidly enable and manage complex business processes, organizations must adopt a unified solution that directly integrates process automation with job scheduling.

Enterprise scheduling tools have many advantages over the older technology of client-server scheduling tools.

Skybot Scheduler provides many advantages, including event-driven scheudling and cross-platform capabilities, over UNIX cron job scheduling.

Because there is still a need for recurring application processes to perform activities, there is an increased need for critical back-end computing via workload automation software.

Central monitoring and automatic notification are the keys to successful workload automation.

Consolidating scheduling across multiple applications into an enterprise job scheduler increases productivity and helps the bottom line.

Following a specific plan for automating your enterprise schedule ensures greater success for your implementation.

Cron is a useful tool, but for today’s large, interconnected enterprises it has its limitations. Modern enterprise job scheduling tools offer superior functionality, ease of use, and a more modern, graphical user interface.

It is important to understand the challenges that many companies face with data integration so that the appropriate tool can be used to address them.

Overview: The DevOps methodology embodies two core philosophies: decreasing the lead time of software deployment and the automation of delivery and testing. DevOps emerged as a practical response to the agile development movement, in contrast with traditional, phase-based or “waterfall” development, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Traditional methods should be phased out, and companies...

SSH is nearly ubiquitous in today’s enterprises, and is the predominant tool for managing unix and linux servers, and the applications and data that they host. Poor practices around the deployment and management of the SSH infrastructure could easily leave your enterprise vulnerable to a breach. Are you in control? SSH, Secure Shell protocol, is now nineteen years old and broadly deployed across...

In order to make cloud computing highly available and easy to use, there has to be an infrastructure in the background, like enterprise scheduling software.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of...

As organizations become increasingly aware of the need to protect their data, the question that needs to be answered is how much security is enough? Unfortunately, that’s one of those “it depends” questions. Each organization must consider their own requirements before confidently answering that question. This document discusses those considerations.

Tech has had a tremendous impact on the way today’s businesses seek continued growth and improvement. No matter what business they are in, executives everywhere are investing in technology that improves their business processes, gets them ahead of the competition and widens their margins. Ultimately, the return on that investment is determined by how well technology supports a business’ ability to...

Capacity management, considered by top analyst firms to be an essential process in any large IT organization, is often so complex that in today’s accelerated business world it cannot be effectively implemented. Changing priorities, increasing complexity and scalable cloud infrastructure have made traditional models for capacity management less relevant. A new paradigm for capacity management is...
