MORRISTOWN, N.J., Nov. 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced Systems
Concepts, Inc. (ASCI), maker of ActiveBatch® Workload
Automation and Job Scheduling Software and other solutions that
enhance Windows™, Linux, UNIX, z/OS and OpenVMS systems among
others, today announced it has joined the complementary technology
partner ecosystem of Netezza Corporation (NYSE: NZ), the global
leader in data warehouse, analytic and monitoring appliances.
The partnership is facilitated by a new Netezza Extension for
ActiveBatch that enables users to both easily deploy Netezza
workflows within ActiveBatch and connect with other common business
applications, databases and platforms outside the Netezza
environment.
Netezza is a leader in data warehouse appliances that combine
storage, processing, database and analytics into a single
high-performance system. Led by its TwinFin™ line of data
warehouse appliances, Netezza offers purpose-built systems that
solve business problems quickly and easily for companies ranging
from eHarmony, Neiman Marcus, Time
Warner, and Estee Lauder to
Nationwide Insurance, NYSE Euronext, and Virgin Media.
ActiveBatch's new Netezza support is made possible through a new
set of production-ready Netezza Job Steps in the application's
Integrated Jobs Library. These job steps, which eliminate the
need for command line use and/or expensive scripting, include
NzLoadData for loading data into the Netezza appliance; NZ-PLSQL
Block to execute SQL queries in the Netezza SQL language; and
NZBackup for database backups. In addition, the ActiveBatch
Execution Agent can be installed directly on the Netezza host to
support direct access to all Netezza operations.
"Advanced Systems Concepts' ActiveBatch is renowned for its
cross-platform capabilities as well as its ability to simplify the
job scheduling process," stated Matt
Rollender, Director of Technology Partnerships, Netezza
Corporation. "Netezza data warehouse appliances are likewise
designed to remove complexity and speed time to value. We're
pleased that ActiveBatch is now part of our partner ecosystem,
giving our users another valuable tool for advancing their data
warehouse effectiveness."
ActiveBatch, one of the most widely used Workload Automation and
Job Scheduling Software applications with deployments in 40
countries, adds strategic business value by automating operations
in real time for improved IT performance. The application
allows users to centrally manage disparate jobs and workflows,
including tasks involving the most common operating systems,
enterprise business applications and even Web Services.
"Our inclusion in the Netezza complementary technology partner
ecosystem is yet another way that database administrators and other
IT personnel can create value while uncomplicating their daily
tasks," said Jim Manias, Vice President of Marketing and Sales for
Advanced Systems Concepts. "By using ActiveBatch with Netezza
appliances, users can easily create workflows with a host of
products and systems including Oracle and SQL databases, SAP
systems, with technologies like Java and Web Services."
As a member of the Netezza complementary technology partner
program, Advanced Systems Concepts service personnel will have
access to technical and business development training for Netezza
products. The company will also benefit from Netezza's
structured referral program as well as other cross-marketing
opportunities.
ActiveBatch integration with Netezza is separately licensed as
an extension of the ActiveBatch system. For more information
