COLLABNET ADDRESSES ENTERPRISE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT WITH OPEN, COLLABORATIVE PLATFORMS FOR ENTERPRISE IT

Thu, 07 Feb 2013 17:09:51 +0000

Strategic acquisitions, partnerships and innovation drive growth and meet the evolving needs of software-driven organizations

BRISBANE, Calif., Feb, 7 2013, CollabNet® (www.collab.net), the global leader for Enterprise Cloud Development and Agile ALM, continues to build on its commitment to innovation by delivering technical and service solutions that are helping reshape how software is developed and deployed today. During the past 12 months, CollabNet applied its strengths in open source, distributed development, social collaboration and hosted developer communities to address key drivers in the software industry – including Agile, cloud development, enterprise Git, DevOps and ALM. “Making a difference, and driving fresh global software development approaches is core to the DNA of CollabNet,” said Bill Portelli, co-founder and CEO of CollabNet. “Our work in Enterprise Cloud Development, Agile, DevOps and enterprise Git is making a huge difference for our customers, partners and industry. The proof is in the numbers, with 2012 driving a record bookings and revenue year for CollabNet. In addition, 2013 will be our biggest innovation year ever, with a series of industry changing product offerings planned yet again.” During the past 12 months CollabNet made significant strides in advancing: Enterprise Cloud Development (ECD): CollabNet introduced major initiatives to bring cloud development to enterprise IT, including a five-step ECD (http://www.collab.net/solutions) blueprint to guide organizations as they adopt hybrid cloud strategies into the software delivery lifecycle. It also launched CloudForge™ (http://www.cloudforge.com), the industry’s first enterprise-grade development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS) that helps organizations adopt, manage and scale cloud development activities. During 2012, it also introduced enhancements to CloudForge, including a new consumer-like user experience and improved integrations with TeamForge®, Subversion Edge, Git and a host of third-party tools. CloudForge provides instant access to a range of development tools and cloud services with one-click deployment to public PaaS or private datacenters. There are now more than 26,000 active customers on CloudForge. DevOps: To address one of the mega trends in the industry, CollabNet partnered with IT process automation and application release automation provider UC4 (http://www.collab.net/deploy) to help organizations achieve enterprise DevOps at scale. The joint offering will provide the automation, scalability and governance enterprises need to bring development and IT Operations closer together to deliver software faster and reduce IT costs. The platform to be provided by this partnership, automates the entire development-through-deployment process – including code, build, test, release, deployment and IT automation – to achieve continuous, reliable application releases at scale. Enterprise Git: First with Subversion and now with Git, CollabNet is leading the adoption of enterprise-grade open source SCM tools and platforms (http://www.collab.net/products/teamforge/git-for-the-enterprise). Through TeamForge and CloudForge, IT organizations have the ability to deploy and manage Git and Subversion instances from a single management platform, with best-in-class automation, tracking and compliance that are a must within distributed, enterprise software organizations. CollabNet was the first to offer Git history protection for governance and compliance, and its integration of Black Duck Code Sight into TeamForge provides a single platform to discover and reuse code across Subversion and Git repository boundaries. CollabNet also now offers a 24/7 support package for Git. Agile: From public and private training to tools and Agile ALM platforms, CollabNet continues to strengthen its Agile-based offerings. Its global services team trains more Scrum Masters than any organization and provides hands-on training to guide Agile transformations and transitions. ScrumWorks® Pro (http://www.collab.net/products/scrumworks), now with Kanban support, can be used stand-alone or integrated with TeamForge or CloudForge. The latest version of TeamForge also includes new reporting, planning and graphical task boards for Agile ALM, and the CloudForge platform extends Agile project management through a host of point tools, including JIRA, Rally and VersionOne. ALM: CollabNet’s TeamForge ALM platform (http://www.collab.net/products/teamforge) continues to evolve as the industry’s most complete and open platform for building and deploying applications by distributed teams. Enterprise IT organizations use TeamForge to manage multiple technology processes, commercial and open source tools, and deployment applications through both on-premise and privately hosted deployments, or as an offering within CloudForge. In addition, TeamForge was recognized by Forrester Research, Gartner, Info-Tech Research and Visual Studio Magazine during the past year. “The software industry continues to change for the better, and the past year saw CollabNet coalesce several major strategic initiatives into a common cause for Enterprise Cloud Development,” said Jim Ensell, CMO and Chief Strategy Officer for CollabNet. “Hybrid use of tools, platforms, processes, and clouds is today’s reality in software development, as we look forward to our continued work with customers and partners to not only keep pace, but to thrive in the future.” Share this: #CollabNet builds on strong momentum for #Agile, #DevOps, #Git and #cloud development.

COLLABNET’S NEW CLOUDFORGE USER-INTERFACE BRINGS CONSUMER-LIKE EXPERIENCE AND FLEXIBILITY TO ENTERPRISE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT

Mon, 30 Jul 2012 16:53:02 +0000

New development Platform as a Service (dPaaS) brings a fresh, easy-to-use interface that offers enterprise-grade analytics, IT provisioning, deployment and security management

BRISBANE, Calif., July 30, 2012, CollabNet® (www.collab.net), a global leader for Enterprise Cloud and Agile Development, today launched the commercial version of its CloudForge development-Platform-as-a-Service (dPaaS). The new CloudForge interface combines an elegant consumer-like user experience with the security and management needed to bring cloud development to the enterprise. With CloudForge, developers and operations teams alike can easily migrate their projects and data to the cloud, and deploy to their PaaS or datacenter. For the first time, development teams can instantly provision and integrate their tool stack of choice, including hosted tools like Apache Subversion® (SVN), Git, Trac and TeamForge®, and integrated applications like Atlassian JIRA, Basecamp and Rally Software. Administrators gain a single-pane view of cloud resource consumption, activity and project progress, and critical data needed to manage team-based development. “Cloud development continues to prove its value and gain adoption for teams ranging from independent hobbyists to enterprise workgroups,” said Guy Marion, vice president and general manager of cloud services for CollabNet. “The new CloudForge user interface removes the complexity of mapping people and projects across many tools, and provides an engaging and collaborative way for developers to get their cloud, mobile and enterprise apps to market quickly.” CloudForge focuses on providing freedom of choice to developers, who can select their tool stacks from its App Center, while ensuring compliance with corporate IT via the backend reporting, user management and visibility capabilities. In doing so, CollabNet supports the trend of organizations not wanting to be locked into a single vendor or tool – instead providing a flexible platform to leverage a variety of best-of-breed tools and hybrid processes. “Having a flexible platform to quickly build and ramp up our cloud-based development has helped our company become more agile and responsive to the market," said Cheng Zou, co-founder and CTO of Zuora, the Silicon Valley-based subscription billing leader. "CollabNet and its CloudForge platform provide a much needed development and deployment front-end to the PaaS offerings that are available today – our developers love it and it provides the visibility and control we need to run the business.” CloudForge also helps IT operations define and control their deployment processes, then pass control to developers to one-click deploy to PaaS and cloud environments, including Amazon Web Services (EC2), VMWare’s CloudFoundry.com, AppFog, Force.com, and Google App Engine. This provides a flexible and low-cost “on-ramp” to cloud development that is 100 percent enterprise-ready, with the high availability, backup, compliance, security, user management and support expected from a world-class cloud offering. “Feedback from thousands of CloudForge beta testers and results from a recent CollabNet Cloud survey that show that more than 90 percent of our community are deploying some apps to cloud platforms,” said Marion. “CollabNet is focusing on providing a unique and easy way for businesses to manage and scale their adoption of PaaS and cloud-based deployment, to meet the enterprise need for security and reliability, without sacrificing freedom and flexibility.” CloudForge is now available in general availability at (www.cloudforge.com). A variety of service options are available, ranging from a free and 30-Day trial plans, to $3.50-per-user-per-month personal plans, and from $16.50 per user per month for business configurations.
