COLLABNET SEES ENTERPRISE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT AS THE NEXT WAVE IN AGILE ALM, DEVOPS INITIATIVES IN 2012

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:48:42 +0000

As Agile and DevOps movements mature so too does cloud development

BRISBANE, Calif., Dec. 19, 2011, CollabNetÂ® (www.collab.net), the global leader for cloud development and Agile ALM products and services, expects the adoption of cloud development practices to increase in 2012 as a growing number of IT organizations build and deploy software directly in the cloud. During 2011, CollabNet saw a 40 percent increase in cloud development projects developed, deployed and hosted on its private and public cloud offerings, with more than 1,500 new customers adopting its Codesionâ�¢ cloud development platform over the past 12 months.

â��The software development industry continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and we see the convergence of Agile ALM, Continuous Delivery and hybrid cloud strategies making enterprise-wide cloud development practices increasingly attractive to IT organizations,â�� said Bill Portelli, CEO and co-founder of CollabNet. â��In this context, â��enterpriseâ�� applies to the compliance, traceability and security standards that software-driven organizations require from the cloud to increase productivity, global collaboration and the pace of releasing quality software .â��

From an industry perspective, CollabNet cites the following factors that are leading to enterprise cloud development as the next wave in software development: 1) maturing cloud development platforms that provide enterprise-grade security and regulatory compliance, 2) the ability to integrate commercial and open source ALM tools in the cloud, 3) the increase in Continuous Delivery in the cloud, and 4) the mainstream adoption of hybrid computing strategies that blend public and private cloud platforms based on application type and usage requirements.

CollabNet is well-suited to gauge the increased adoption of cloud development practices. The company maintains six world-class data centers that provide up to 99.99 percent average availability and stringent security controls for more than 1.5 petabytes of annual data traffic and 3.5 billion Subversion transactions per year. It maintains a highly trained operations team for managing large enterprise ALM sites, managing more than 10 terabytes of data annually and 1.6 million Subversion transactions per day for more than 25,000 users. It hosts approximately 800,000 documents and 350,000 artifacts for more than 5,000 projects using 7,000 trackers.

â��We see enterprise cloud development as a growing movement in the software development industry and the result of two megatrends in IT â�� cloud computing and Agile ALM,â�� said Guy Marion, vice president of cloud services for CollabNet. â��Just as Agile processes are scaling across IT organizations, cloud development is moving from smaller projects to more strategic implementations that larger IT organizations are using to adopt and scale software development and deployment directly in the cloud.â��

CollabNet enables hybrid cloud development strategies with a portfolio of products and services that provide the performance, security and traceability todayâ��s maturing Agile-based environments require. CollabNetâ��s cloud platforms meet enterprise needs and empowers thousands of developers to streamline the development and deployment process using a growing ecosystem of hosted open source and commercial tools, including Apache SubversionÂ®, Git, Trac, Bugzilla, CollabNetâ��s Agile ALM platform TeamForgeÂ®, and other leading Agile project management tools.

COLLABNET ADDS GIT SOURCE CODE MANAGEMENT TO CODESION ENTERPRISE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT PLATFORM

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:30:14 +0000

IT organizations using multiple source code tools now have a single, enterprise-grade hosting platform that offers the flexibility and cost-savings of cloud development

BRISBANE, Calif., Dec. 14, 2011 â�� CollabNetÂ® (www.collab.net), the global leader for enterprise cloud development and Agile ALM products and services, today announced that the Git source code management (SCM) tool is now available as a fully hosted, enterprise-grade solution directly from its Codesion cloud development platform. This cloud-enabled version of Git follows the companyâ��s recent launch of CollabNet Connectâ�¢ that made Git available as an integrated tool within the TeamForgeÂ® Agile ALM platform. Both options make Git a viable choice for enterprise IT organizations where the highest standards in support, security, availability and back-up are a â��mustâ�� requirement.

â��The continued convergence and adoption of open source and commercial ALM tools within cloud development platforms requires new levels of assurance for both performance and security,â�� said Guy Marion, vice president of CollabNet Cloud Services. â��Now development teams working on mission-critical projects have access to Git within a highly secure, reliable and enterprise-grade cloud development environment that includes other popular SCM tools, such as Subversion, and leading ALM solutions.â��

Many IT organizations find that development teams use a wide range of both open source and commercial SCM and ALM tools. With Git now available on Codesion, organizations can deploy and manage Git, Subversion and other SCM tools â��under one roof,â�� with code stored in a single, secure, enterprise-ready location. For enterprise customers managing hundreds of projects across multiple tool stacks, Codesion now offers both integrated SCM hosting along with access to a growing suite of development tools, including: Trac, BugZilla and CollabNetâ��s ScrumWorksÂ® Â Pro and TeamForge for Agile ALM, and Codesion Publisher for software deployment.

CollabNet is the first company to provide a cloud-enabled platform to govern and secure development with the Git DVCS tool, such as for mobile application development. Enterprises can now take advantage of the speed and flexibility provided by Git without compromising corporate standards for compliance, security or management efficiency â�� all in the cloud.
