Enterprise Job Scheduling Software
Managing your sprawling data center and cloud with disparate native schedulers creates chaos. Achieve unparalleled control and efficiency over your entire IT environment with JAMS job orchestration tools. JAMS provides the singular, centralized platform required to overcome the complexities of disparate native schedulers. Automate, secure, and govern all your workloads, eliminating fragmented control, compliance risks, and operational bottlenecks. JAMS streamlines operations and ensures audit-ready history, transforming your enterprise automation with confidence and precision.
Unify Enterprise Job Scheduling for Scale, Visibility, and Control
Advance beyond native schedulers and achieve comprehensive enterprise job orchestration. JAMS provides the essential foundation, establishing a singular policy model, timeline, and source of truth across all your operations, ensuring seamless coordination as workloads span diverse platforms and teams.
Use JAMS job scheduler tools to:
- Operate from an intuitive console for triggers, dependencies, calendars, and SLAs.
- Apply RBAC, SSO/SAML/MFA, approvals, and separation of duties.
- Install the job scheduler software, deploy agents, and import jobs from Cron, SQL Agent, and Task Scheduler.
Master Your Enterprise Job Orchestration
Leverage these capabilities to achieve reliability and control while ensuring compliance for your enterprise workloads.
Architecture and Deployment for Enterprise Scheduling
JAMS architecture consists of three main elements — the clients, the scheduling engine, and the agents.
Features include:
- Topology, pools, and queues that route work efficiently and protect priority paths.
- High availability and disaster recovery options that keep scheduling online during maintenance or incidents and support zero-downtime upgrades.
- Clear network and security patterns for agent communications and access control.
Orchestration Mechanics for Job Scheduling
Shorten windows and reduce manual coordination with orchestration through:
- Timed events and event-driven triggers initiate jobs upon file arrival, API or webhook calls, messages, or database changes.
- Business calendars and natural language date rules model time zones and blackout windows.
- Dependencies and job streams enforce order across all the applications you use.
- Parameters adapt runs to environments and data.
Runtime Reliability and SLA Enforcement
Improve success rates with these controls:
- Retries with backoff, compensation steps, and idempotent execution absorb transient faults without operator intervention.
- Automated remediation resolves common issues at the source.
- The software defines SLA windows and forecasts completion to prioritize critical paths before deadlines.
- Notifications and targeted escalations reach the right owners with context.
Security and Governance for Scheduled Jobs
Protect administration and runtime actions with:
- Role-based access
- Separation of duties
- Single sign-on (SSO)
- Security assertion markup language (SAML)
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA)
Secret vaulting and encryption in transit and at rest safeguard credentials and payloads, with policies supporting key rotation. Immutable execution and change logs capture who did what and when, and approvals enforce change control. Auditable trails simplify evidence collection and compliance reviews.
Integration-First Job Scheduling
JAMS enterprise job scheduler takes an integration-first approach, ensuring seamless connectivity and robust automation capabilities across your entire enterprise.
- Native workload execution:Â JAMS provides native support for various enterprise job types, including PowerShell, SQL, SAP, Azure Data Factory, ERP, and BI workloads. Execute these jobs directly without needing custom intermediary scripts or glue code to connect JAMS to the applications. This ability simplifies job setup and reduces development effort.
- API-driven system integration: JAMS also offers robust REST and .NET. These APIs enable deeper integration by allowing external systems, such as CI/CD pipelines, ITSM platforms, and observability tools, to programmatically interact with and manage JAMS’s scheduling capabilities, facilitating modern “management as code” workflows.
Real-Time Insights and Actionable Analytics
These capabilities help operators gain a clear view of status and the levers to improve it:
- Clarifies the upstream and downstream impacts and helps teams act quickly with visual job maps and dependency graphs.
- Reports surface success rates, duration variance, and queue wait times to guide tuning and capacity planning.
- Resource-based scheduling and load balancing distribute work across agents to protect throughput during peak periods.
Migration Off Cron, SQL Agent, and Legacy Suites
JAMS enables teams to transition more quickly and maintain predictable delivery throughout the change. Imports from Cron, SQL Server Agent, and Windows Task Scheduler preserve schedules and reduce rework. Services and migration packages add experienced guidance, realistic timelines, and risk mitigation.
