 Deployit is a Deployment Automation solution that allows both Operations and Development to manage their software deployments in an efficient, secure and predictable manner.
Deployit automates Java EE deployments to IBM WebSphere, Oracle WebLogic, JBoss and Tomcat environments. This includes configuring other middleware components such as web servers, databases, security proxies, firewalls and load balancers. Deployit integrates with build frameworks like Maven, continuous integration tools like Hudson and Bamboo and with CMDBs like IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager and HP Universal CMDB.
Deployit provides a well-documented API framework to customize the behaviour of its built-in deployment best practices. Developers can also extend the Deployit platform to include other (e.g. custom-built) middleware stacks.
Product Features
Comprehensive Middleware Support
Deployit fully supports IBM WebSphere Application Server 6 and 7, Oracle WebLogic Application Server 10 and 11 and JBoss Application Server 4 and 5. It also supports Tomcat and Apache, including management of virtual hosts and integration with WebSphere and WebLogic. Deployit integrates with build frameworks like Maven, continuous integration tools like Hudson and Bamboo and with CMDBs like HP Universal CMDB and IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager for collecting and updating hardware and software configuration information. Plug-ins are also available for IBM WebSphere MQ, IBM WebSphere Process Server and IBM WebSphere Portal.
Best-practice Deployment Scenarios
Deployit has built-in support for a broad range of artifacts, JDBC data sources, JMS resources, shared libraries, application configurations, SQL scripts, static content, firewall, security proxy and load balancer settings – all the items that are commonly included in the deployment package. Out-of-the-box best practices enable you to support complex server, cluster and web server configurations with minimum application downtime.
Secure “Self-Service” Deployments
With Deployit, your users can carry out only those deployment activities that they are authorized to handle. This means developers can safely execute “self-service” deployments to their development environments. Deployit provides role-based permissions for managed objects and environments and integrates with your existing security infrastructure (e.g. LDAP).
Extensible & Customizable Plug-in API
Deployit’s Plug-in API framework lets you easily add custom functionality and fine-tune the sequence of steps in your deployment processes at several levels of detail. The extensible framework allows you to include custom middleware stacks and applications. It also ships with a middleware integration test framework and TCK.
Transparent Analytics & Reports
Deployit provides you with instant overviews of the state of your operational landscape. How many deployments were carried out, on what servers, using what conditions and parameters? Deployit keeps a complete change history for auditing and traceability purposes. By presenting these data in comprehensible (analytical) reports, Deployit helps you to pinpoint bottlenecks and recurring causes of failures in order to further streamline and improve your IT Operations activities.
Benefits to the User
Remove Productivity Bottlenecks
Automating your deployments allows you to remove manual steps and expedite the overall deployment process. Self-service deployments eliminate time-consuming hunts for bugs in the deployment scripts and guarantee a smoother integration between Development and IT Operations without hand-over delays and idle waiting time, leading to quicker ROI on development investments.
Save 50% on Costs & Reduce Errors by 95%
Companies using Deployit achieve cost savings of 50% or more on their deployment efforts by eliminating avoidable rework/retests and contingency costs. Our customers told us they reduced their number of deployment errors by about 95% due to automation of error-prone manual tasks.
100% in Control of Your Deployments
As IT Operations you want to be 100% in control of your deployment processes. Using Deployit, you will make your deployments activities transparent and predictable. This means you can meet your customer SLAs without having to worry about unpredictable deployments in your delivery process.
One Platform for Developers & IT Operations
XebiaLabs’ mission is to make life of both IT Operations and Development easier and more productive. Traditionally, Development’s focus is on change, while IT Operations’ focus is on stability. Deployit brings these two worlds together. By eliminating the hand-over of software packages from Development to Operations without compromising the controlled change process, Deployit bridges the traditional gap between both departments. As a result, the deployment process becomes much more efficient while overall software quality increases.
