Deployment Automation to Virtualized and Cloud environments.

Virtualization

Virtualization is a technology that modern operational departments within enterprises cannot live without. Virtualization enables them to make better use of computer hardware resources, respond faster to changing IT-infrastructure needs and lowers overall TCO.
Unfortunately, virtualization causes an explosion of servers. Every application and its middleware are running on a dedicated virtual server. So instead of 100 physical servers, an enterprise will have a 1000 servers. Manually managing such a virtual infrastructure is an impossible task and therefore deployment automation and middleware automation is a necessity.

Deployments in the cloud

Deployit was built from the ground up to connect and deploy to thousands of servers, therefore it is a perfect match for a cloud or virtualization environment. Deployit has built in support to discover remote servers, whether they are in a private or public cloud and make them available in minutes to deploy your applications to. It also gives you a great overview of your entire cloud from a single console.
In a next version of Deployit, support for Amazon EC2 and VMWare products is included, to expedite making virtualized servers in clouds available for deployments. This makes Deployit the best solution for tomorrow’s cloud deployments.

Cloud discovery

When discovering remote servers, Deployit finds out what middleware is running and how it is configured on your servers. It can even discover a cluster or farm of servers for deployment within a couple of minutes, allowing you to quickly scale up capacity when you want to run a campaign.

Displayed in a single console, Deployit users can access their Linux, Solaris, OS X, AIX or Windows based clouds. Deployit supports all application deployments to WebSphere, WebLogic, JBoss or Tomcat servers, and includes proper configuration of databases, HTTP Servers and firewalls hosted on these clouds.
