Chesterville, Ontario - May 3, 2010

MB Foster is announcing the release of MBF Scheduler for Microsoft Windows Server. MBF Scheduler delivers the robust job scheduling features of the HP 3000 MPE operating system for the Microsoft Windows Server platform without the need of a separate UNIX or Linux server.

While the Windows Task Scheduler lets you schedule many tasks, it has no control over how many are executed at once. Complex job linking, almost impossible with Windows Task Scheduler, is easy with MBF Scheduler. The system manager is given precise control of exactly how and when every job is executed.

MBF Scheduler provides users with complete visibility and control over their data processing jobs making it easy for system administrators and operators to manage running jobs, view job output, schedule jobs, and maintain complex dependencies and relationships between jobs.

"MBF Scheduler was designed and built to meet the real needs of HP 3000 customers migrating to the Microsoft Windows Server platform" says MB Foster CEO Birket Foster. "We know how difficult it is to manage hundreds of jobs every day in a production environment. MBF Scheduler includes the critical components to manage running and scheduled jobs, while giving system administrators the tools they need to monitor and recover both successful job execution and job failures, including fully automated notification by email."

MBF Scheduler is available for demonstration or delivery immediately.
