COLLABNET LAUNCHES CLOUDFORGE, INDUSTRY’S FIRST ENTERPRISE-GRADE DEVELOPMENT-PLATFORM-AS-A-SERVICE (dPaaS)

Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:12:21 +0000

CloudForge enables software development teams to develop and deploy in seconds, using a hybrid mix of tools, application frameworks and deployment clouds

BRISBANE, Calif., April 30, 2012 â�� CollabNetÂ® (www.collab.net), a global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM products and services, today announced CloudForgeâ�¢, a new development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS) that helps distributed teams and enterprise IT organizations adopt, manage and scale cloud-based development activities using a hybrid mix of tools, application frameworks and deployment clouds. For teams, CloudForge provides ease-of-use, instant access to popular development tools, integrations with cloud services and one-click deployment to public PaaS or private datacenters. For IT organizations, it provides centralized role-based security, automated backups, visibility and compliance needed to code, connect and deploy software applications within a hybrid mix of public, private and on-premise cloud environments. CollabNet also announced that its on-premise TeamForgeÂ® and Subversion Edge installations seamlessly integrate into CloudForge. â��Rapid developer adoption of cloud-based services has enabled companies of all sizes to build and release new categories of software, including mobile, local and cloud-based applications, without assuming the upfront capital costs associated with supporting requisite new IT,â�� said Guy Marion, vice president and general manager for CollabNet Cloud Services. â��As cloud development matures, CloudForge addresses the glaring need for a secure, flexible and scalable platform to help enterprises gain control of and benefit from hybrid cloud development.â�� CloudForge represents the industryâ��s first enterprise-grade dPaaS offering, and underpins CollabNetâ��s strategy to lead the adoption and growth of Enterprise Cloud Development. It provides code repository hosting (Subversion and Git), access to hosted and third-party Agile tools, and facilitates the deployment of applications to public and private cloud environments. It uniquely extends to and integrates with on-premise applications like TeamForge, Subversion Edge and leading commercial and open source tools, or to affiliated cloud platforms like Cloud Foundry and SOASTA. This mix of hybrid cloud and lifecycle capabilities enables development teams to leverage the power of Agile processes and DevOps initiatives â�� while providing the enterprise with a centralized view of productivity, cost management and compliance. â��Having a flexible platform to quickly build and ramp up a cloud development program has helped our company become more agile and responsive to the market,â�� said Rahul Subramanian, managing director for DevFactory, a Trilogy company. â��CollabNet and its CloudForge platform provide a much needed development and deployment front-end to the IaaS and PaaS offerings that are available today â�� our developers love it and it provides the visibility and control we need to run the business.â�� CloudForge is an entirely new platform that is built upon the industry leading CodesionÂ® cloud development framework that more than 4,000 global customers use daily. It is more than a year in the making and leverages CollabNetâ��s extensive experience building development communities and helping enterprise IT organizations manage complex distributed team environments. While CloudForge offers an easy, flexible and low-cost â��on-rampâ�� to cloud development, it is 100 percent enterprise-ready, with the high availability, backup, compliance, security, user management and support expected from a world-class cloud offering. â��By partnering with CollabNet, CloudForge provides a front-end development platform that provides easy access to the Cloud Foundryâ�¢ PaaS environment â�� whether hosted in the public cloud, private cloud, or on-premise environment,â�� said Jerry Chen, vice president, Cloud and Application Services at VMware. â��With CloudForge, CollabNet is bringing cloud development and Cloud Foundry to the enterprise in a way that makes sense for development and operations teams, and provides a centralized platform for executives.â�� Starting today, CollabNet is making CloudForge Cloud Services accessible from within all of its products, including its TeamForge ALM and Subversion Edge SCM platforms. Initially, the new Subversion Edge CloudBackup service provides seamless Subversion data archiving, redundancy and migration capabilities for any on-premise user of Subversion Edge or TeamForge, without leaving their own desktop environment. Future hybrid cloud services will become available later in 2012 within Subversion and TeamForge, and may range from elastic server provisioning for build and test, to data analytics services and access to knowledge communities. The CloudForge hybrid cloud development platform includes the following capabilities:

COLLABNET USHERS IN THE NEXT EVOLUTION IN SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: ENTERPRISE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT

CollabNet aligns strategy with Enterprise Cloud Development; adds and integrates CloudForge into its product portfolio to drive hybrid cloud development and deployment

BRISBANE, Calif., April 30, 2012 â�� CollabNetÂ® (www.collab.net), a global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM products and services, today unveiled its new corporate strategy to support the enterprise adoption of hybrid cloud development and deployment. It is the culmination of 12 years of development vision, innovation and community-building to better connect teams, processes and tools, both on premise and in private and public clouds. In addition to launching its new strategy, corporate website and a host of thought leadership content around Enterprise Cloud Development, CollabNet today launched CloudForgeâ�¢, the industryâ��s first enterprise-grade development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS), and also integrated CloudForge into its on-premise TeamForgeÂ® and Subversion Edge products. â��The information technology sector, and the software development industry in particular, is rapidly evolving into a mix of Agile, DevOps and hybrid cloud practices to accelerate application development and deployment,â�� said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO for CollabNet. â��Enterprise Cloud Development is the evolution of basic cloud development, as it enables enterprises to extend their internal IT practices to the external cloud in a flexible and hybrid nature by leveraging existing systems and embracing new platforms. Our customers are telling us that their software engineering processes must be enhanced to introduce new spans of control as their teams adopt hybrid cloud development and deployment.â�� As part of its corporate alignment to support Enterprise Cloud Development, CollabNet unveiled its new website that includes a series of online presentations, and is sponsoring an IDG TechCast called â��What you need to know about Enterprise Cloud Development.â�� The TechCast is available for immediate viewing and includes videos of CollabNet executives, partners and industry influencers, a white paper and animated video scribe outlining five practical steps to incorporate cloud development into Agile and DevOps practices.

Industry research shows that cloud development is quickly working its way into the overall enterprise IT mix. For instance, a 2011 study conducted by Saugatuck Technology indicated that â��75 percent of all companies will be doing some of their development in the cloud in 2012, and an average of 50 percent of new software deployments worldwide will be made in the cloud by the end of 2014.â�� Based on its years of experience and patterns of customer success, CollabNet has outlined a blueprint containing five practical steps to guide organizations on their path to Enterprise Cloud Development as they adopt hybrid cloud IT into the application development and deployment lifecycle. The steps include: 1) embrace the cloud for centralizing access and visibility to tools and processes; 2) create a robust coding community to encourage reuse; 3) codify development processes by standardizing tools, workflows and processes; 4) automate DevOps practices; and 5) take a hybrid approach by leveraging public and on-premise private cloud resources in a secure, compliant and optimal way. To deliver customer and industry value, CollabNetâ��s Enterprise Cloud Development strategy is strengthened by three new product offerings: 1)Â Â Â Â Â The launch of CloudForge: CollabNetâ��s next-generation dPaaS is built from the previously acquired CodesionÂ® public cloud hosting platform, and meets the needs of professional teams throughout the entire organization. It helps developers and IT managers instantly develop and deploy software using a hybrid mix of tools, application frameworks and deployment clouds â�� all with enterprise security and compliance in place. 2)Â Â Â Â Â Standardizing Enterprise Cloud Development for the industry: CloudForge adds unique capabilities for its users, and creates new dPaaS business opportunities for third-parties through its new App Center. By offering complimentary, best-of-breed development and deployment services, including Cloud Foundry and SOASTA, users gain integrated functionality and platform partners can directly access CollabNetâ��s more than 10,000 customers. It also helps CollabNet rapidly expand its menu of services offered within the CloudForge user interface. 3)Â Â Â Â Â ALM and SCM hybrid cloud services: Initially, CloudForge Cloud Services will be available to customers with on-premise deployments of Subversion Edge and TeamForge. A new Subversion Edge CloudBackup service now provides seamless Subversion data archiving, redundancy and migration capabilities for any on-premise user of Subversion Edge or TeamForge, without leaving their own desktop environment. Later in the year, additional hybrid cloud services will be available in TeamForge and Subversion Edge, such as elastic server provisioning for build, test and deployment. â��Software development is changing, due in part to the growth of cloud computing. Smaller teams are taking the lead with cloud-based development, and in turn provingÂ value and gaining the attention of executives responsible for the bottom-line,â�� said BenÂ Kepes, principal at research firm Diversity Analysis. â��As enterprise IT looks to cloudÂ development, offerings such as CollabNet's, that provide the foundation forÂ companies to embrace the cloud in a manner that integrates into and extends existingÂ development processes, will be seen as the best way of ensuring efficiency and effectiveness.â�� Share this story via Twitter: @CollabNet launches new #cloud #software #development for the #enterprise.

COLLABNET PROVIDES TEAMFORGE ALM PLATFORM FOR ALEMBIC FOUNDATION’S AURION OPEN SOURCE HEALTHCARE PROJECT

Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:52:30 +0000

CollabNetâ��s TeamForge widely used to build software platforms for advancing the efficiency of national healthcare systems

BRISBANE, Calif., April 12, 2012 â�� CollabNet (www.collab.net), a global leader for enterprise cloud development and Agile ALM products and services, today announced that its TeamForge ALM solution is being used by the Alembic Foundation in support of Aurion, an open source project that enables the secure exchange of interoperable health information among diverse organizations using a wide variety of technologies. The Alembic Foundation (www.alembicfoundation.org), a nonprofit organization founded by former leaders of the Federal Health Architectureâ��s CONNECT project, is leading the development of open source applications that will expand information sharing capabilities industry-wide to improve the efficiency, openness and public value of the national healthcare system. â��CollabNet is pleased that TeamForge has been chosen by the Alembic Foundation to lead its effort of building a robust open community and development ecosystem around the Aurion healthcare platform,â�� said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO of CollabNet. â��TeamForge is used extensively by multiple governmental and commercial organizations in the development of HealthCare IT systems and national standards. It makes perfect sense for the Aurion community to use a platform consistent with many other national health initiatives to build a powerful, open source offering for developing common specifications, standards and governance that enable secure health information exchange.â�� In late 2008, federal agencies participating in Federal Health Architecture successfully demonstrated the ability to send information to each other as well as to regional hospital networks throughout the country through an initial system called CONNECT. While the CONNECT project was managed and able to take input from a select group of federal agencies, Aurion opens the platform to a broader range of organizations â�� bringing diverse and unique perspectives into a single line of software with widespread applicability. â��Organizations implementing Aurion as a part of their health information exchange strategy gain the benefits of implementing nationally-recognized standards that enable data exchange with federal agencies as well as with numerous other health IT stakeholders,â�� said David Riley, president of Alembic. â��CollabNet has and continues to play an integral role in ensuring our projects are successful and reach as many organizations as possible. We are very grateful for their support and the rich expertise they share in building advanced healthcare IT systems.â�� Aurion enables health professionals to request, send and receive medical records so critical information can follow patients as they navigate through the healthcare system. CollabNetâ��s TeamForge platform provides an integrated set of development, collaboration and project management tools with a secure, centralized on-demand delivery model to enable true collaborative development in an open, global environment â�� ideal for supporting a vibrant open source community.

This webinar is designed for enterprise architects, IT development, IT operations and change management personnel interested in enhancing their collaborative landscape. Peissner and Debois will draw on their firsthand experience and extensive knowledge of market trends to highlight the top five adoption advantages of this fast-growth emerging market that IT operations rarely consider. The presenters will outline DevOps adoption pitfalls, and how to avoid them.Â They also will leverage the successes of early innovators to illustrate the benefits of strategic DevOps implementations.
