  • Webinar: How to Achieve Continuous Delivery Without Downtime

    Webinar: How to Achieve Continuous Delivery Without Downtime

    Today’s businesses demand quick access to new technology, which means they need shorter release cycles and centralized control of both your on and off premise resources. Integrating cloud resources into your traditional datacenter management can prove challenging and time consuming at best. What if you could increase your organization’s ability to innovate utilizing business automation to bridge the gap to the cloud?

    This webinar will be looking at how you can:

    • Automate your deployment of code updates with the correct configuration
    • Reduce errors by automating manual steps and scripts
    • Achieve quicker deployment times to meet business demands
    • Integrate with Jenkins build management

    Join us on February 18th as Tom Flitter, Director of Applications and Integrations at TASC, discusses how TASC solved long release cycles, extended service downtimes per release, and highly manual processes for releasing their main application across all environments.

    IBM Webcast Nov 18 : Rapid and Continuous Delivery to Hybrid Clouds

    Organizations need to innovate at speed. As software has become increasingly critical to business outcomes, delivering high quality changes quickly has become a competitive necessity. With rapidly changing applications has come a dynamic, programmable infrastructure that can meet changing business needs in the blink of an eye. In a word: Cloud.

    But how do development teams take advantage of cloud resources? How do organizations coordinate application changes across clouds? Where do platform as a service tools like Bluemix from IBM fit in? Can we move quickly without losing control or quality?

    Join Eric Minick, IBM DevOps Evangelist (and UrbanCode guy), as he examines best practices, and approaches for tying together cloud infrastructure, platform as a service and deployment automation to boost the responsiveness of IT as a whole.

  • IBM Webcast Nov 12: Use Discovery to accelerate testing and virtualization

    IBM Webcast Nov 12: Use Discovery to accelerate testing and virtualization

    Many of today’s business applications offer a multitude of services (APIs) across many different technologies. These same applications also reach out into a web of already-existing services in order to retrieve and update information necessary to successfully deliver the end to end business processes. In many cases, these applications are being built by multiple development teams distributed around the world with architectural approaches and middleware changing over time and yet we point test teams at the mere tip of the iceberg and say, “Test it!”. Testers know the benefits service-based testing and service virtualization bring but to successfully use these capabilities they first have to understand not only the application’s architecture but also the way in which it communicates with everything around it. Finding this information can be a forensic-like exercise; even if there is documentation there is only one real truth – the environment itself. Watching and interrogating the real systems allows testers to understand what’s really happening under the surface, sometimes with surprising results.
