“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, CA Technologies unveiled its expanded CA LISA
Application Delivery suite, 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.
