Autosys is a product from Platinum it is a job scheduling software. Most basic job scheduling is done using unix - Cron (or windows - AT) which is time based it will fire the job based on the clock. However in real business you need to fire jobs not just based on scheduled time but also based on events (like an arrival of a file) and based on the success or failure of other jobs. Autosys is a total job scheduling solution that allows you to define these events dependencies time schedules alerts etc making it a complete data center automation tool.
