Automate, optimize, and modernize batch system management
Batch processing is critical to business success, but IT leaders may take it for granted and many aren’t prepared when batch experts retire. With AMI Ops Automation for Batch ThruPut Manager, you can:
- Improve SLA performance by verifying jobs have the resources they need and proactively manage resource contention between jobs
- Prioritize batch processing based on business policies and goals and automatically select the most urgent jobs first without system overload
- Minimize rolling 4-hour average (R4HA) processing peaks with or without capping to reduce monthly license charges
- Provide real-time insight into batch execution progress, potential problems and delays, and trends in peak usage
- Reduce reliance on specialized knowledge of batch operations
Futureproof your batch for the next generation
