CISCO’S WORKLOAD AUTOMATION SOLUTION INCORPORATES ADVANCED PREDICTIVE AND HISTORICAL ANALYTICS TO ENHANCE AND EXTEND DECISION MAKING FOR ENTERPRISE–WIDE BUSINESS PROCESSING, November 1, 2011 —

Cisco’s Intelligent Automation Business Unit and Terma Software Labs Inc today announced the integration of Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler and JAWS Workload Analytics. The combined solution will enable users of Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler to further align their workload processing environments with the needs of the business by leveraging JAWS to visualize workload performance as it relates to Service Level Agreements (SLA’s). In addition, users will be able to dramatically reduce business processing risks by taking advantage of predictive analytics to understand future performance, enabling a highly proactive workload processing environment.

“In speaking with many users of workload automation solutions, we continue to hear a need for better understanding and efficient management of workload performance.” said Torsten Volk, Senior Analyst at Enterprise Management Associates. “Tidal Enterprise Scheduler is at the heart of Cisco’s Intelligent Automation Strategy. JAWS will extend the functionality adding a layer of sophisticated analytics to ensure on-time SLA driven job completion.”

Workload Automation is a key enabler to business success in today’s enterprise. As data center complexity grows, SLA delivery times shorten and business demands becomes more event-driven, the need to automate is imperative. However, only automation with historic and real-time environmental visibility can produce the requisite infrastructure awareness necessary to ensure business processes complete in accordance with defined SLAs. Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler users will benefit from the following functionality in JAWS:

• Performance Intelligence (Predictive, Real Time, Historical, Business)
• SLA Assurance
• Critical Path Visualization
• Machine & Resource Correlation
• Flexible Reporting

“Extra Technology has been a long time partner and technology subject matter expert for both Cisco Tidal Enterprise Scheduler and JAWS”, said Mark Mannion, Managing Director of Extra Technology Limited. “Our Cisco workload automation customers have been asking for extended analytics, prediction, and SLA awareness to enable them to better manage workload performance. JAWS is a very mature, feature rich solution, and a perfect fit for their needs.”

THE INTEGRATED SOLUTION OF JAWS AND OPSWISE AUTOMATION CENTER TO BE RESOLD BY STONEBRANCH, February 15, 2011 —

Terma Software Labs Inc and Stonebranch today announced a strategic alliance. The partnership enables Stonebranch to resell Terma’s market leading Workload Analytics solution, JAWS, with Stonebranch’s OpsWise Automation Center, the most modern job scheduler on the market. The combined solution will bring together the ease of use, cross platform support in a job scheduling engine that so many enterprises demand, combined with workload performance analytics to ensure business critical jobs complete on time, in accordance with their service level agreement (SLA).

“I’m excited to see two emerging companies in the workload automation space join forces to evolve this market,” said Dennis Drogseth, Vice President of Enterprise Management Associates. “OpsWise Automation Center earned the ’value leader’ award in our most recent WLA Radar Report and JAWS is a workload analytics solution that has quietly been managing workload performance for many Fortune 500 companies. The combination of Stonebranch’s cutting edge solution and the rich workload analytics from Terma will enable IT departments to have an end-to-end workload management solution in true service management context.”

With the majority of enterprise data still being managed via batch, companies have grown to become reliant upon job scheduling engines to support critical business services. As complexity and volume have increased, the need for automation has moved to the forefront. However, automation is only one piece to the puzzle. Without analytical based intelligence, inefficiencies could be automated into processes on a daily basis. Today’s enterprise needs a dynamic, cost effective, workload automation solution that scales to support environments that span from z/OS to distributed systems and even to cloud-based solutions, combined with analytical insight into business, predictive, real-time, and historical performance.

“With the demand for workload analytics increasing, we embarked on executing our workload aggregation strategy to be able to provide to more companies”, added Walter Goodwin, CEO of Terma Software Labs. “The market response and analyst validation made the decision to integrate with OpsWise Automation Center the obvious next step for us.”

The integrated solution is available immediately and those wishing to evaluate and purchase should contact Stonebranch directly. Stonebranch will also act as a reseller of JAWS for CA Workload AE (AutoSys Edition).

“We are excited to be able to continue building the most innovative and reliable workload automation portfolios,” said Wolfgang Bothe, CEO of Stonebranch. “Building upon the strong foundation of our independent agents and file transfer technologies, the recent merger with OpsWise, and now the integration and reseller partnership with Terma, Stonebranch has become an even more compelling and competitive Workload Automation solution.”
