XebiaLabs Launches XL Satellite Technology for Global Software Deployments

Enabling globally-distributed application deployments.

Boston, MA (USA), February 25th, 2015 — XebiaLabs, the leading provider of software for DevOps and Continuous Delivery at scale, today announced the launch of its new XL Satellite technology, available first for application release automation solution XL Deploy. This unique minimal-footprint technology provides intelligent global deployment so companies can easily deploy at scale to datacenters around the world.

Enterprises today have multiple datacenters distributed across the globe, often connected through critical but high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. When software can’t be transferred reliably, it’s impossible to carry out truly global deployments, even with standard agents. XL Satellite technology uses fault-tolerant protocols optimized for WAN connections, providing reliability and scalability for the global deployment process.

“Deploying to tens or hundreds of servers in a single datacenter or cloud region is a reasonably simple problem from a technical perspective,” said Vincent Partington, CTO of XebiaLabs. “Our users are deploying to thousands or tens of thousands of servers spread across the globe and connected by high-latency, low-bandwidth networks. Operating reliably and efficiently at that kind of scale requires new technology. With XL Satellite, we have created the most advanced agentless distributed remote execution framework available today – something no other product on the market can offer.”

XL Satellite Technology Bolsters XL Deploy for Multiple Data Centers:
XL Satellite technology ensures high availability across multiple data centers, whether they’re in the cloud, on premise, or hybrid. XebiaLabs developed this new technology in response to high demand from customers and decision makers in medium and large enterprises with global presence. One satellite per data center handles deployments to local servers agentlessly, limiting maintenance, configuration overhead, and scalability issues. XL Satellite technology brings increased reliability to XL Deploy for distributed enterprise environments.

More About XL Deploy:
XL Deploy automates the deployment process for a company’s software applications, so deployments occur in a repeatable, standard and efficient way. As the leading application release automation software, it helps organizations deliver higher quality software faster. XL Deploy is agentless, model-based and fully automates the last mile of the Continuous Delivery process by eliminating the need for scripting.

XL Deploy also features out-of-the-box integration with all leading build, provisioning, middleware and cloud solutions. The solution combines intelligent deployment automation, a rich content set covering everything from Docker to WebSphere, and seamless integration into the application delivery ecosystem.

Availability:
XL Satellite technology will soon be available as part of the XL Deploy 5.0 enterprise edition release, scheduled for March. For more information visit: http://xebialabs.com/products/ or call (866) 656-4408 or write to sales-us@xebialabs.com.

XebiaLabs Ranks 15 on Deloitte Fast 500 List

EMA Ranking validates clear business value behind software automation.

Boston, MA (USA), December 12, 2014 — XebiaLabs, the leading provider of software automation for bringing applications quickly to market, today announced it achieved a 15th place ranking in the 2014 Deloitte Technology Fast 500TM for the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region.

XebiaLabs achieved an impressive 8,609 percent growth rate over a five-year span to win the 15th place out of 500 companies ranked. The Deloitte program is the pre-eminent technology awards program in EMEA and now in its fourteenth year.

“We’re delighted to receive this recognition but we must credit our growth to the fact that businesses are seriously under pressure to turn their innovative ideas into usable software,” said Coert Baart, XebiaLabs CEO. “This means ‘concept-to-cash’ in days, instead of weeks or months. But due to existing legacy systems and outdated release processes, this rarely happens. Continuous Delivery by XebiaLabs changes the game. For starters, it radically removes waste and time from the software production process.”

Continuous Delivery takes all manual processes associated with building software — from testing, deployment, configuration and monitoring — and fully automates that cycle. Combined with customer feedback, creating a competitive software build & release machine is possible for your business.

International corporations such as General Electric, Expedia, Xerox, KLM, and Société Générale use XebiaLabs to accelerate software applications into the marketplace while reducing costly errors and downtime.

XebiaLabs to Publish “The IT Manager’s Guide to Continuous Delivery”

Publication explains how organizations can leverage Continuous Delivery concepts to develop production software within days instead of months.

Boston, MA (USA), May 08, 2014 — Turning good ideas into marketable software quickly is now a business imperative for every enterprise. Turning Continuous Delivery – accelerating the software development and release process – has been a top priority for CIOs based on recent surveys conducted with Fortune 1000 companies. Software development objectives such as these set the stage for “The IT Manager’s Guide to Continuous Delivery,” a new book announced today by XebiaLabs ( http://www.xebialabs.com ).

This is one of the only guides of its type that covers the subject of Continuous Delivery. It presents measurable business benefits and is written for non-technical readers, starting with concrete advice on how to get started.

Authored by four Continuous Delivery experts with extensive hands-on experience, the book champions the concept of Continuous Delivery in enabling organizations to build automated software delivery platforms for releasing high-quality applications faster. The book also presents how Continuous Delivery is a set of processes and practices that radically removes waste from the software production process and creates a rapid and effective feedback loop with end users.

“In a competitive economic environment, every organization should consider this game-changing approach,” says co-author Andrew Phillips, who is also Vice President of Product Management at XebiaLabs. “Continuous Delivery helps reduce time-to-market from weeks and months to days or even hours.”

Other authors of book include Xebia IT Architects Principal Consultants Michiel Sens, Adriaan de Jonge, and Mark van Holsteijn. Xebia is an international IT services firm with 400 employees.

David Farley, co-author of “Continuous Delivery,” said, “Continuous Delivery is at the leading edge of software development thinking.

XebiaLabs Adds XL Release to Accelerate Software Delivery

XL release provides advanced enterprise release coordination, streamlines path to delivery through automation and collaboration

Boston, MA (USA), September 17, 2013 — XebiaLabs, the leading provider of delivery acceleration software, today announced XL release, an enterprise-class release coordination product. XL release enables teams to integrate release management and execution for the first time while providing a path to fully automated delivery pipelines, getting features and enhancements to your customers and end users faster.

XL release allows all team members to collaborate effectively and simply on application releases – to plan, execute and track both manual and automated tasks from code drop to end-user. Integration with XebiaLabs’ Application Release Automation software Deployit provides a complete solution to deliver higher quality software faster.

The current reality of software releases is that they consist of a mix of automated and manual tasks, all of which have to be scheduled, coordinated and carried out.

Automation and execution of tasks in a typical release cycle cannot be combined with tracking and coordination, since today’s planning tools do not provide automation capabilities. This results in time-consuming overhead to keep the release coordinator, the release team and all other stakeholders in sync.

Handling the communications divide between Development, QA and Operations introduces additional time lags, increases the risk of miscommunications and errors.

“Recognizing the pains in the marketplace, we created a product that not only addresses those pains but can substantially increase the level of automation and standardization of software releases,” said XebiaLabs CEO Coert Baart. “The end-result for our customers is high-quality software, delivered faster.”

Built for DevOps and release teams and managers and designed from the ground up around an integrated, team approach to application delivery, XL release is built around the following core functions:

* Flexible Release Plans – The most intuitive and flexible planner to describe all the manual and automated activities that need to be carried out in your releases. Define teams, assign tasks, create checkpoints and gates and identify dependencies in a few clicks.
* Single Source of Truth – All participants in a release, from Dev through to Ops, share a single, up-to-date view of all release activities, even with globally distributed teams.
* Ready for Reality – Re-plan and adapt to changing circumstances as necessary. Re-run release steps, rollback unfinished tasks and reassign activities while maintaining a full audit trail.
* Release Templates – Transition to more predictable and efficient release plans by defining release templates for applications and even entire application families. Implement Continuous Delivery by progressing to release pipelines for all your application releases.
* Built for the Enterprise – Designed from the ground up to meet the requirements of large organizations, with role-based access control, LDAP integration, calendar syncing and more.
Proactive Conflict Alerts – Dependency management and resource usage analytics help you identify potential sources of release delays and failures before they occur.
* Acceleration Platform – With full out-of-the-box support for automating release activities, standardized release pipelines and comprehensive release acceleration analytics, XL release provides you with a dedicated platform for releasing high-quality applications faster.

Availability:
XL release is now available. For more information call (866) 656-4408 | sales-us@xebialabs.com. Register for the Sept. 18 launch webinar: http://go.xebialabs.com/0913XLrelease_3Registration.html.
