  • Another piece in the DevOps puzzle – Redgate launches ReadyRoll at Build 2016

    Cambridge, UK, March 31, 2016 – At the Microsoft Build Developer Conference 2016, Redgate is launching ReadyRoll, a key piece in the DevOps puzzle that addresses the pain often associated with managing database changes alongside the application.

    It fills a gap in the software development process which, over the last decade, has seen significant improvements in reducing the cycle time between an idea and useable software. DevOps and Agile practices play a key part in enabling organizations to deliver value to customers sooner by enabling teams to work more collaboratively and productively.

    Redgate ReadyRoll applies that same thinking to the database by enabling teams to develop and deploy databases in Visual Studio following a migrations-based approach. It removes the pain of managing SQL migration scripts by generating numerically ordered scripts to take schema from one version to the next. This allows teams to version control their database and application changes side-by-side from within Visual Studio, and enables them to build and release, and automate deployments, all in one process.

    During the DevOps session at Build 2016, Data Platform MVP Steve Jones will join Microsoft Corp. to discuss the importance of including the database in DevOps processes. In a live demo, he’ll show how Redgate ReadyRoll integrates into Visual Studio Team Services to ensure continuous integration, and how automated release processes cover both the application and the database.

    Daniel Nolan, who originally founded ReadyRoll and is now the Product Manager at Redgate, comments: “When I originally developed ReadyRoll, it was to solve a particular pain point I had when I was deploying databases. In the last nine months, Redgate has put enormous resources behind it and it’s fantastic seeing how more and more users are able to develop and release changes significantly faster because of ReadyRoll.”

    Mitra Azizirad, General Manager, Cloud Application Development & Data, Microsoft Corp., said: “I am excited about offering a migrations-based approach to database change management from within Visual Studio. Applications and databases aren’t separate entities – they’re two sides of the same coin. Enabling teams to implement DevOps practices and manage database and application changes side-by-side is a key step towards improving team collaboration and productivity.”

    As a long-standing ReadyRoll customer, John Adams of TrueBlue Inc. agrees: “This product is fantastic. It saves us a lot of time and makes our release process consistent and repeatable.”

  • Databricks Offers APIs to Enable Agile Application Development With Apache Spark for the Enterprise

    Fusion of API and Visualization Meets Application Deployment and Data Science Needs

    SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(Marketwired – Mar 30, 2016) – Databricks, the company behind Apache Spark, today launched a new set of APIs that will enable enterprises to automate their Spark infrastructure to accelerate the deployment of production data-driven applications.

    Today’s enterprise data platform must satisfy the disparate needs of multiple constituents as they work together to deploy production data-driven applications. While developers and DevOps teams operate in command line and APIs to automate infrastructure, data scientists demand a visual environment to create algorithms. Without a unified platform, enterprises suffer from a sprawl of tools, leading to long application development cycles and high IT infrastructure complexity. With the addition of secure APIs to an integrated workspace, Databricks natively supports this full spectrum of enterprise needs in one platform — a capability not yet available anywhere else.

    Databricks users will now have the ability to implement Agile Development best practices, such as continuous integration, in tandem with performing real-time data analysis and visualization. Added benefits to enterprises include:

    • Faster release cycles of Spark applications;
    • Higher reliability in Spark infrastructure deployments;
    • Improved oversight and management of Apache Spark infrastructure expense in the cloud.

    “Agile data-driven application development requires data scientists to work in perfect sync with DevOps, but these teams lack a unified platform to connect their separate workflows,” said Ali Ghodsi, CEO of Databricks. “The addition of Databricks APIs will enable these constituents to work seamlessly in one platform, allowing them to act on hidden insights from their data and create unique competitive advantages for the business.”

    “The APIs provided by Databricks combined with its integrated workspace and security framework has allowed us to release our applications twice as often as before,” said Doug Stein, chief technology officer at Metacog. “Instead of waiting for multiple weeks to incorporate improvements into our product, we are now able to do so every week.”

    The new APIs are available today to all Databricks customers. To sign up for Databricks, visit www.databricks.com or contactsales@databricks.com.

    About Databricks:
    Databricks’ vision is to make big data simple for the enterprise. The company was founded by the team that created and continues to drive Apache Spark, a powerful open source data processing engine built for sophisticated analytics, ease of use, and speed. Databricks is the largest contributor to the open source Spark project providing 10x more code than any other company. The company has also trained over 20,000 users on Apache Spark, and has the largest number of customers deploying Spark to date. Databricks is venture-backed by Andreessen Horowitz and NEA.

  • Threat Stack Announces Most Comprehensive Cloud Security Vulnerability Verification

    Cloud Security Platform™ Provides Automated CVE Check Against Every Package Installed

    BOSTON– March 30, 2016 – Threat Stack, a leader in cloud security management and compliance, today announced advanced capabilities in the Threat Stack Cloud Security PlatformTM that provide customers with the most comprehensive vulnerability verification of any cloud security offering currently on the market. Threat Stack’s Cloud Security Platform automatically analyzes all customer packages against the more than 2 million Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) listed in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) run by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

    “Threat Stack wants to keep customers as current as possible on critical CVEs,” said Venkat Pothamsetty, vice president of products and customer advocacy, Threat Stack. “The Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform compares every single CVE published to every package installed, cross-checks against all corresponding vendor advisories on those packages and pin points to the image ID that the servers are instantiated from. The extensive and platform approach we take is resulting in the least false positive rate of CVEs in the industry, but also directly helping with workflows by pointing out what AMI needs to be updated.”

     

    Security and operations teams operating in the cloud are challenged with assuring security, eliminating vulnerabilities and running as fast as possible. Operations teams, in particular, need to quickly identify packages with vulnerabilities before they’re rolled out into the infrastructure.

    Understanding the growing importance of vulnerability management to cloud users, Threat Stack has assured that the cloud-native platform automatically examines package information on the workload, checking against the NVD. The cloud service also provides manual, custom updates; cross references with operating systems vendors; and proactively directs customers to which AMI needs to be updated.

     

    The cloud native, fully-integrated Threat Stack Cloud Security Platform supports data across all environments, cloud security providers and containers, eliminating the need for fragmented solutions and reducing the complexity of security concerns facing IT leaders and CIOs. By providing vulnerability management at the workload layer, Threat Stack gives customers the confidence they’re managing CVEs efficiently, enabling them to focus on more high-priority security threats.

    To learn more about Threat Stack’s vulnerability management capabilities, please visit the Threat Stack blog.

    About Threat Stack

    Threat Stack enables growth-driven companies to scale with confidence by identifying and verifying insider threats, external attacks and data loss in real-time. The only fully integrated, cloud-native continuous monitoring solution that gives customers instant visibility and automatically responds to changes in their environment, Threat Stack provides the coverage needed to run secure and compliant, in all environments, without sacrificing speed and efficiency.
