XebiaLabs Launches XL Satellite Technology for Global Software Deployments

March 1, 2015 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

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

December 13, 2014 flashnewsrelease Leave a comment

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.

About the Deloitte Technology Fast 500TM:
The Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) is the pre-eminent technology awards program in EMEA and now in its fourteenth year.

International corporations such as General Electric, Expedia, Xerox, KLM, and Société Générale use XL Deploy and XL Release to get applications into customer hands while reducing costly errors and downtime. CIOs, development managers and professionals in quality assurance, testing and operations at these organizations view the fast conversion of good ideas into marketable software as a critical imperative that drives business success.

XebiaLabs Raises $12m in Growth Equity Round by Updata Partners

June 13, 2014 straightlinepr Leave a comment

First Institutional Funding Will Drive Continued Growth in Fast Moving DevOps & Continuous Delivery Market

Boston, MA, June 13, 2014 – Leading delivery automation vendor XebiaLabs today announced it has closed a $12 million growth equity investment by Washington, D.C. based Updata Partners. Since its founding in 2008, XebiaLabs has experienced dramatic success with over 100% revenue growth every year and has gained validation from customers such as General Electric, Expedia, Xerox, KLM, and Société Générale. This financing will be used to fuel continued fast growth globally in the rapidly expanding DevOps and Continuous Delivery market.

“Updata’s investment is a vote of confidence in XebiaLabs and our market opportunity,” said Coert Baart, XebiaLabs chief executive officer. “Software is the most critical component to the success of many of today’s organizations. Lack of automation is preventing companies from delivering software and its corresponding business value fast enough. XebiaLabs is the first fully automated delivery automation software that solves this challenge and this funding will help us reach even more customers worldwide.”

Updata Partners is the first institutional investor in XebiaLabs. Post transaction, Updata general partners Carter Griffin and James Socas will join XebiaLabs’ six person board, along with founder and chairman Daan Teunissen, chief executive officer Coert Baart, and independent directors Alex Pinchev, formerly President of Red Hat, Inc., and Wim Heijting, formerly of Baan Company. Michel den Braver will serve as board observer and advisor.

Delivering higher quality software faster has become a business imperative. Current software development processes cannot keep pace with the demand for the faster delivery of software. While application development times have accelerated of late due to Agile, scrum and other methodologies, deployment best practices have not kept pace, resulting in a significant bottleneck at the point of application release.

XebiaLabs helps companies accelerate the rate of innovation and time to market while reducing error and downtime. With XebiaLabs, companies can easily move to continuous deployment and create a fully automated customer feedback loop so companies can quickly adapt their applications to the fast-shifting changes in the market. Customers experience up to 50% faster release times, 50% reduction in release cost and eliminate nearly 100% of errors in the process.

“XebiaLabs’ offering is well-timed with the rapidly increasing demand for DevOps and Continuous Delivery solutions that drive faster time to value for the software delivery process,” said Carter Griffin of Updata. James Socas added, “We believe the market will continue to see a shift toward greater automation as organizations look to scale their efforts to deliver customer value at an accelerated pace. XebiaLabs offers a powerful solution for the industry and we are excited to collaborate with them in building a great company in an exciting category.”
