NeoSort’s underlying technology (Nsort) optimizes sorts by taking full advantage of the available hardware – such as multiple processors, multiple disk drives, and memory. In the Windows server environment all these items are competitively priced commodities, so companies can economically set up systems that provide surprisingly fast sort times for any size of file. Nsort, for example has sorted 34GB in a minute and 1TB in 33 minutes. Even those who don’t need super-fast sorts benefit from knowing their batch jobs are going to execute within the available time slots. Those whose sort steps rely on the DFSORT, or Syncsort (mostly supported), command formats now have the option to cut their expenses by migrating to Microsoft Windows servers.

“We have been excited to work with Fujitsu Software to provide a DFSORT-compatible version of Nsort,” said Chris Nyberg, President, CEO, and founder of Ordinal Technology Corp. “There is a large number of sort operations driven by DFSORT commands today that could really benefit from the power of Nsort, but migrating them to a Windows server platform requires supporting the JCL and batch COBOL programs. Fujitsu is an expert and leader in those areas so was an obvious partner for us. NeoBatch provides a forward-looking solution for JCL, so together we can say, ‘Give batch a future and step up to the world’s fastest sort!’”

Ron Langer, VP of Global COBOL Sales, Fujitsu Software Corporation, remarked, “It’s still a commonly held belief that mainframes provide the fastest performance available, but our experience is that everyone who has migrated to Windows servers using our software has seen a significant improvement in performance. Now we are able to offer the world’s fastest sort so that people will be in no doubt that migrating to Windows is a performance-enhancing move. We can’t say enough about the enthusiastic support we’ve received from the folk at Ordinal Technology – they’ve done an excellent job in ensuring we provide the DFSORT compatibility our customers require.”

NeoSort is available now to early users of NeoBatch.
