"Winning in today's world of rapid agile development and complex hybrid
infrastructures requires IT organizations to have automated application delivery processes
and tools to deliver innovation to customers with perfection, and faster than the
competition," said Shridhar Mittal, general manager, Application Delivery, CA
Technologies. "Building on our expertise in Service Virtualization-through both organic
development and a targeted acquisition-we are driving efficiencies, cost savings and
faster release cycles, and equally important, we are helping our customers achieve a truly
optimized approach to DevOps."
With the combined application delivery solution, customers can simplify and streamline
application releases, develop and test applications rapidly, move applications into
production automatically with higher quality, and better ensure continuous application
delivery across the software development lifecycle for improved business and operational
agility.
"We are driven to constantly innovate and deliver new applications to market, and that
has aligned us closely with the DevOps direction of the CA LISA product suite," said Laura
Miller, senior vice president, Financial Services Application Development, First Data
Corporation. "When we virtualize away constraints and automate manual tasks in the
software lifecycle, collaboration between Development, QA and Operations teams happens at
a new level. We can reliably expect continuous improvement in time-to-market as well as
better reliability of the new services our customers demand."
Nolio Acquisition
Nolio is a recognized leader in continuous application delivery with a strong and
growing international base of large enterprise and service provider customers.
Nolio's solutions help customers:
- Improve business and operational agility by dramatically cutting release times;
- Simplify, standardize and execute application releases with better precision;
- Automate application rollbacks for faster recovery and service continuity; and
- Enable fast, agile and scalable release automation for cloud and traditional
applications.
According to a recent 451 Research report*, "Nolio is growing both its
service-provider and enterprise customers, which bodes well for its future and for the
release-automation and devops market. Nolio's growth also reinforces the enterprise
evolution of devops - the confluence of application development and deployment via IT
operations - and how more enterprise and service-provider customers are implementing
automation, continuous deployment and devops more broadly after already having
successfully achieved divisional, test and proof-of-concept deployments."
CA LISA Application Delivery Suite
At CA World 2013 [http://www.ca.com/us/caworld.aspx ], CA Technologies unveiled its
expanded CA LISA Application Delivery suite [http://www.ca.com/lisa ], which addresses the
most critical DevOps challenges and helps a high velocity application delivery
organization to deliver faster to market, with superior quality and reduced costs. The
suite includes:
CA LISA Service Virtualization: Reduces or eliminates constraints or roadblocks such
as limited lab and system availability, and incomplete software and test data that prevent
on-time application delivery-by modeling dependent systems and services. The latest
version now offers mainframe capabilities, international support, and additional protocols
and data capabilities.
This solution helps customers:
- Improve quality by shifting error identification earlier in the development cycle;
- Speed time-to-market for updated or new services;
- Lower infrastructure and pay-per-use service costs;
- Reduce demand and contention for physical hardware and labs; and
- Enable parallel development in a 24/7 available virtual environment.
CA LISA Release Automation: With the Nolio acquisition comes this new offering that
dramatically improves the ability to move application software efficiently and reliably
through the development process and into production across vastly different IT
environments spanning physical, virtual and cloud.
With CA LISA Release Automation, customers can:
- Automate the complex processes and changes required to move code between
development, test and production;
- Improve application quality and reliability by standardizing release processes;
- Increase the velocity of application release cycles;
- Reduce platform dependency easing migration and deployment;
- Assure successful deployment and roll-back capability; and
- Simplify production deployment and capacity planning.
"Thomson Reuters relies on innovative technology platforms to deliver critical news,
information and solutions to our professional customers around the world. CA LISA Release
Automation will assist our technologists and developers to automate the deployment of some
of our key applications, increasing the speed and efficiency with which we bring new
products and offerings to market," said Charlie Richardson, Head of Development
Effectiveness, Thomson Reuters.
CA LISA Pathfinder: Allows IT organizations to better model real-world environments
for development and test using intelligence from both development and production.
This solution helps customers to:
- Eliminate repetitive testing and validation tasks to allow resources to focus on
improving value-added functionality;
- Capture life-like production-level traffic and performance metrics in
pre-production;
- Allow users to rapidly create and maintain automated Continuous Integration testing
suites;
- Increase regression coverage with robust validation of business scenarios;
- Reduce the time and cost of defect resolution with automated defect capture and
root-cause issue reporting; and
- Automate application architecture model discovery and mapping.
CA LISA DevCloud Manager: Helps ensure the environments and infrastructure used in
development, test and production are ready for applications, across physical, virtual and
cloud infrastructure.
With CA LISA DevCloud Manager, customers can:
- Reduce manual setup, maintenance and tear-down time, as well as excess
infrastructure costs for complete environments through automation;
- Eliminate resource conflicts between multiple development and test teams with
near-instantaneous availability of pre-configured lab environments;
- Allow IT to set centralized standards in provisioning application development
environments, while offering flexibility to empower teams to define specific project
configurations and data; and
- Optimize the consumption of pre-production computing resources in private or public
cloud environments.
