ARMONK, N.Y., March 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM
(NYSE: IBM) today announced a series of new and updated
capabilities for developers designed to deliver intelligent
application analysis throughout the DevOps pipeline, generally
available on March 19.
According to an IBM internal assessment, a bank with
$1B in IT spend undergoing a hybrid
transformation with integrating mainframe reported 2.5x the value
of a single vendor cloud approach1. However, to fully
realize that potential value with low risk and high ROI, clients
will need DevOps tools that can assist them to help understand
application complexity – a key step when planning their cloud
transformation journey.
To help clients unlock the value of DevOps across the
enterprise, and help reduce risk around application modernization,
today IBM is announcing new IBM Wazi Analyze capabilities to help
bring IBM Z into the DevOps pipeline, unlocking uniform,
enterprise-wide agile delivery processes and standards with
transferable skills for non-Z developers.
These new capabilities are included in:
- IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence (ADDI)
for IBM Z V6
which allows developers to accelerate application development and
modernization by enabling them to efficiently gain granular insight
into their business-critical application estate. With the new
version of Wazi Analyze, you can get updated analysis immediately
after the code change is made. ADDI v6 has been engineered to
improve the Assembler support by helping developers analyze the
multi-level of dynamic assembler macro calls. A set of APIs are
also made available to enable integration between the analysis and
CI/CD pipeline.
- New Analyze capability in IBM Wazi Developer V1.2, a
subset of ADDI, helps enable developers to discover and analyze the
relationships between components of their z/OS applications and
understand the impact of a potential change. Wazi Analyze runs in a
containerized environment to give developers the flexibility to run
it in any environment.
In addition, IBM is also announcing we have completed a
licensing agreement with ITP Software Systeme GmbH, Munich (ITP) to enhance DevOps for IBM Z
Hybrid Cloud capabilities. This includes IBM's offerings IBM
Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence (ADDI) for IBM Z V6
and IBM Wazi Developer V1.2 and is expected to provide a strong
foundation for our clients' application modernization and cloud
transformation initiatives, accelerating their journey to hybrid
cloud. By working with ITP, IBM will introduce advanced application
analysis on IBM Z and Red Hat OpenShift, as well as be able to
provide on-demand project level analysis as part of a modern DevOps
pipeline when and where developers need it.
"We look forward to using the new IBM Wazi Analyze web user
interface as part of IBM Application Discovery and Delivery
Intelligence, said Armin Kramer,
Software Engineer at DATEV eG. "With these new capabilities, our
developers will gain deeper access to z/OS application analysis - a
critical component to enhance productivity when maintaining and
developing code in a hybrid cloud environment."
