Stonebranch's Indesca allows JN Data to unify multiple job scheduling silos into one end-to-end business process for complete workload automation
ATLANTA, October 6, 2010 - Stonebranch, innovator of Independent Job Scheduling Agent
(www.stonebranch.com/indesca/index.html) technology and provider of
Managed File Transfer (www.stonebranch.com/infitran/index.html)
solutions, today announced that JN Data, Denmark's leading IT outsourcer for
the banking industry, has expanded its Indesca deployment to accommodate the
increased number of managed datacenters due to bank mergers. JN Data's
satisfaction with Stonebranch and the Indesca product, including its ability
to automate and integrate their cross-platform disparate job scheduling
environment, was the reason for this decision.

Jyske Bank, the third largest bank in Denmark, and Nykredit, the largest
mortgage company in Denmark, founded JN Data in 2002 to handle all IT
operations and technical infrastructure for both companies. Recently, JN Data
added Nordisk Finans IT (BEC and SDC) as its customer. As a result, JN Data
wanted to expand the use of Stonebranch and Indesca to consolidate this
complex Workload Automation (www.stonebranch.com/index.html)
environment to provide them with centralized management and control of their
systems.
"JN Data consistently demonstrates success in aligning their IT
outsourcing operations with their customers' business objectives," said John
Mecke, Chief Operating Officer of Stonebranch. "We're pleased that JN Data
has once again chosen Stonebranch as their partner to complete their Workload
Automation strategy."
When the merging of these banks' IT operations is complete, JN Data
projects that, at that time, they will be managing 24,000+ mainframe mips,
7,200+ AIX and Intel servers, over 35,000 PCs and 1300 storage servers.
Indesca's vendor agnostic solution enables JN Data to deploy Independent
Scheduling Agents on every server no matter what the platform or operating
system.
"Indesca allows us to add functionality to the job scheduling
environments of our clients without the need to replace or convert the native
job scheduling product," said Kim Kvist Hansen, Head of Production Planning
for JN Data. "Each customer can maintain their original scheduling
environment and we will then use Indesca to manage and control these
disparate environments. This enables us to extend the initial investment in
our scheduling infrastructure and avoid retraining personnel and acquiring
additional costly technology. Indesca allows us to keep IT operations stable,
secure and running efficiently as we continue to grow our business."
