Each NQE server can be tailored by using an extensible and rich set of load-balancing policies to further define the NQE load for a given system. Load-balancing policies can use all information known about the job and servers to select destinations. Additional data objects can be added by the customer, thus increasing NQE's load-balancing flexibility in a given installation. With job dependency, users can specify criteria to be met before a job may be initiated, thus providing the capability to link interrelated job tasks. Users may also determine the status of jobs that have been submitted with job-dependency constraints.
Users can take advantage of the computing resources on the network that best meet their needs.
The Network Queuing Environment consists of NQE servers and NQE clients, which may be configured for optimal use across your entire network. The server provides load balancing and best-destination recommendations to client callers such as NQS when a user submits a network task. This results in reduced wait time for users. All FTA queued transfers are unattended and do not require user intervention to retransmit an interrupted file transfer. Additional commands allow the user to query status and to suspend, resume, and delete transfers.
