Support for Four OS Platforms Gives ActiveBatch Job Scheduler

Increased Flexibility For Job Execution Across Wider Range of Platforms
MORRISTOWN, N.J.--(Business Wire)--
Advanced Systems Concepts, Inc. (ASCI), a leading provider of system software
solutions that enhance enterprise systems, today announced it has extended its
ActiveBatch® Job Scheduling and Workload Automation execution system support to
include the HP NonStop Kernel (NSK), IBM i5/OS, SuSe Linux and SCO UNIX platform
families. With the added support, ActiveBatch further increases the flexibility
and cross-platform compatibility that has made it one of the world`s most
widely-used job scheduling and workflow automation applications. 

ActiveBatch, currently available in Version 7, is a versatile and powerful
enterprise application for Windows, UNIX, Linux, z/OS, and OpenVMS platforms.
The solution uniquely adds strategic business value by automating operations in
real-time for improved IT operations throughout an organization. 

Deployed at enterprises in 36 countries, ActiveBatch enables users to automate
and centrally manage jobs and workflows across multiple and disparate computing
platforms, applications and databases. Version 7 adds to these capabilities by
offering a dynamic Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and related Web Services
tools to support internal and external Web Services as part of scheduled
workflows. 

"ActiveBatch is well known for its cross-platform support. The addition of HP
NSK, IBM i5/OS, SuSe Linux and SCO UNIX gives enterprises operating large,
diverse computing environments the additional system support they need," said
Jim Manias, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for Advanced Systems Concepts.
"Our goal with this extension, as with all enhancements to ActiveBatch, is to
continually meet the real-world requirements of our full range of customers." 

HP`s NonStop Kernel, first introduced by Tandem, is used by many major financial
and telecom companies to provide fault-tolerant operation. ActiveBatch supports
the HP Integrity NonStop Server platforms (single and multi-core) as well as the
S-series MIPS based systems. IBM`s i5/OS (formerly named OS/400) operating
system on the company`s i-Series platforms, including both PowerPC5 and 6
systems. ActiveBatch already supports IBM e-Series, p-Series, and z-Series
platforms. 

SuSe Linux, sponsored by Novell, is one of the most popular open source
operating systems and is built atop the Linux kernel. SCO UNIX brings the
reliability, scalability and performance of the UNIX OS to a wide range of
enterprise systems. 

ActiveBatch`s new OS support is available to new purchasers of Version 7, as
well as via automatic upgrade to companies participating in ASCI`s ActiveBatch
Version Upgrade program.
