As
DevOps and Continuous Delivery gain traction and adoption increases, IT
organizations need strong governance, cross-team coordination and traceability
to succeed and scale these initiatives across the enterprise. In response to
this demand, UC4 Software, an independent IT Process Automation solutions
provider, and CollabNet, an Enterprise Cloud Development company, have
announced a strategic partnership to help IT organizations achieve enterprise
DevOps at scale. The companies will jointly develop, market, sell and support a
comprehensive end-to-end DevOps platform. The joint offering provides the
automation, scalability and governance enterprises need to bring development
and IT Operations closer together to deliver software faster and reduce IT
costs.
The
goals of development teams and IT operations are often at odds. While
development focuses on creating new applications or features as rapidly as
possible, IT Operations is concerned with stability, and perceives change as
high risk that often introduces unpredictability. To reconcile the
conflict between IT operations that care about the release process and are cautious
of the deployment event, and development teams who try to introduce as much innovation
as quickly as possible, organizations need clear processes
and process automation to speed the roll out of innovation to the customer and
to guarantee roll back to working systems if launch problems occur.
DevOps and Continuous Delivery are the
answer, as they provide the following:
·
Productivity
and Agility: Transforms cumbersome and manual
application deployments of build, test, staging and production
software/hardware images into fully governed, Lean and efficient automated
processes that now take minutes instead of hours or days.
·
Compliance
and Governance: Automates end-to-end tracking of all
deployment-related changes and delivers detailed reporting on deployment
status, change activity and the segregation of duties for strategic planning
and efficient execution.
·
Efficiency
and Cost Savings: Greatly reduces the risk of capital
and brand-damaging losses by eliminating deployment-related outages, as well as
saves on resources needed to configure, deploy and fix defects.
