OSM releases V2.5 of COSbatch
26th June 2007
ASCOT, UNITED KINGDOM: June 26th, 2007: UK based software house, Open Systems Management Ltd. ("OSM") today announced a new release of its popular batch job scheduling software - COSbatch. The new release offers existing and new users of COSbatch an even more reliable method of scheduling background processes in a mixed UNIX, Linux and Microsoft Windows environment.
Neil Chaney, CEO of Open Systems Management said, "This new release is the result of twelve months work by our development team although much of the benefit is not immediately apparent to end users. The new release incorporates a significant number of improvements in the underlying infrastructure including a complete reworking of the communications layer.”
Chaney went on to say, "The driving force behind the release is OSM’s awareness of the criticality of job scheduling to our user base. We have therefore taken the time out to reduce the number of internal problems that can occur, including those that are potentially generated by operator error."
The software can utilize SSH-2 as its communication method as well as OSM’s proprietary OSCP. Additional work has also been carried out in the Microsoft Windows user interface, and in the area of precondition handling.
Chaney concluded “OSM was founded to help end user organizations leverage best practice frameworks such as ITIL and COBIT in infrastructure management, and any improvements in reliability and accountability are always welcome to our users.”
