Where I work we have a similar product where we run all scheduled tasks on our Mesos cluster. Same idea as a uni cCron. You have a task that is executed every N minutes/hours/days, it runs on a box, and does its thing. It doesn't replace every cron job, but it is distributed, fault tolerant, and only breaks when the hadoop cluster backs up. The product mentioned here seems like a good solution for a team that needs to execute linux crons without much overhead.
