ActiveBatch Adds to Workload Automation Solution

Mar 23, 2012 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Advanced Systems Concepts announced it is bringing a broad new class of service to enterprise IT automation through additions to its ActiveBatch Workload Automation and Job Scheduling Software.

In a release, the Company noted it's now possible to automate new forms of runbook and IT operations, and integrate these procedures into other business and IT operational processes, all through a single point of automation.

"With these new capabilities, we're expanding the traditional definition of runbook automation and IT operations to include a new set of infrastructure processes and maintenance tasks that are driven by business," said Jim Manias, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Advanced Systems Concepts. "We're eliminating another boundary to IT automation. Whether its human resources personnel initiating contact information for new employees and ActiveBatch automating the process of creating new mailboxes and groups within Exchange, or an IT worker initializing an optical disk, ActiveBatch can save time, reduce human error and make daily workflows a lot easier." ActiveBatch now enables IT operations to automate a new set of IT processes and administrative routines.

ActiveBatch's new Microsoft Active Directory core capability allows IT to automate and manage many of the runbook tasks associated with IT and business processes including adding users and groups, deleting objects or users, and modifying attributes associated with various objects and users. Within ActiveBatch's central console, administrators can initiate job steps that automate the creation, modification and management of virtually any Active Directory operation, using constraints, event triggers, monitoring, alerts and audits to automate and execute functions.

Through a new integrated core capability for Microsoft Exchange Server, IT Operations can automate and manage Exchange tasks such as creating mailboxes and groups, associating members to specific groups, and deleting or disabling groups and mailboxes.

ActiveBatch Extension for SharePoint, a product add-on, allows users of Microsoft SharePoint to automate tasks such as backups, copying, creating, deleting or restoring SharePoint objects associated with Web sites, Web portals, extranets and various documents and files. Downloading information from an application into a SharePoint folder, for example, can be automated with drag-and-drop simplicity.

ActiveBatch's new capabilities supporting Microsoft Active Directory, Exchange Server and SharePoint are available as part of Service Pack 3 for ActiveBatch Version 8.

Advanced Systems Concepts offers software products and options for users of Windows, UNIX, Linux, HP OpenVMS and NSK systems as well as IBM z/OS, AIX, i5OS and SCO UNIX.
