Maestro Central: The Definitive Tivoli Maestro Site

Over 16 years of Job Scheduling Experience

As Data Center professionals, we have been advocating and implementing automated operations since the early 1980s. Automation in large part involves batch or job scheduling, and ACE consultants have been instrumental in the implementation of job scheduling in a variety of environments, from small minicomputer shops to the largest mainframe Data Centers -- as users, as vendors and as implementation consultants.

Supporting Multiple Job Schedulers

ACE provides comprehensive and authoritative support for Tivoli Maestro (aka Tivoli Workload Scheduler or TWS) and sys*ADMIRAL from Tidal Software. We also provide indirect support -- through integration and conversions -- for CA-7, Autosys, Control-M and Appworx. Because we have spent so much time in our careers as customers, we believe we are objective about the strengths and weaknesses of each product. For job scheduling, as for other IT management tools, one size does not fit all!

We have coverage on this site for Maestro (TWS), the product we most actively support. However, we are working on alliances with other vendors and have sufficient exposure to other schedulers to help you with your job scheduling decisions.

Enterprise Management is Key

Job scheduling software is a fundamental requirement in a state-of-the-art, well-run Data Center. However, to realize the full potential of a job scheduler (and other management point products), a job scheduler should be incorporated into an overall enterprise management framework strategy. Our expertise lies in OpenView, especially Network Node Manager, IT/O and ManageX. We think this framework experience differentiates us from other consultants, offering you a comprehensive solution that meets your specific needs and that can be implemented incrementally for quick wins.
