Private Development Cloud
A no-man's-land exists between what IT provides and what developers must use to ship software. The virtual and physical machines that IT provides have no relation to the tools and processes that developers must lash together to build, test, and deploy high-quality software on time. As a result, developers and IT work separately — neither development efficiency nor machine utilization are maximized.
What developers and IT really need is a private development cloud — a smart way to connect those machines, tools, and processes to create a better software development environment.
Electric Cloud's products help developers and IT create private development clouds to build, test, and deploy better software — faster and cheaper.
These private development clouds connect the machines, tools, and processes you already have.
They turn no-man's land into a friendly place where your developers find precisely the services and resources they need.
The Electric Cloud solution achieves this connection by uniquely bridging the gap between Development and IT. It enables the organization to:
- Automate development tasks to eliminate unnecessary work, free developers to do what they do best, ensure best practices, and improve the quality of software.
- Perform parallel execution to allow for concurrent development and to accelerate time to market.
- Integrate software development tools, computing platforms, and hardware, software, and network resources to provide an easy-to-use, comprehensive set of developer services.
- Manage and distribute workloads so the right machines are allocated to the right work at the right time to improve utilization and productivity.
- See how busy people, processes, and machines are, at any given moment, across IT and Engineering activities, to inform management, provisioning, and support.
The smart development cloud has a transformative effect on the enterprise, as software production becomes dramatically more productive:
- From disconnected to unified: They connect software development tools, platforms, hardware, software, and network resources to improve developer and IT communication, collaboration, and productivity.
- From waiting to self-service: They provide direct access to all these resources when developers need them, without having to request them.
- From wasted to shared: They allow individuals and groups to use the same resources without compromising anyone's work.
- From slow to fast: They allow for concurrent development and accelerate time to market.
- From rigid to elastic: They make just the right levels of resources available in response to fluctuating demands.
- From manual to automated: They make it easy to automate, accelerate, and predictably repeat development processes.
- From unmanageable to managed: They allow managers to monitor and control access, allocation, and performance of resources.
- From vulnerable to secure: They assure both security and privacy while providing records for legal and regulatory compliance.
Since our founding, Electric Cloud has been developing and deploying applications that fill the IT-Software Development void.
Today, ElectricCommander and ElectricAccelerator transform IT's physical and virtual environments and software development tools and computing platforms into unified, self service, shared, elastic, automated, managed, and secure development clouds.
ElectricCommander automates all of the manual tasks that occur throughout the application lifecycle including processes such as build, test, packaging, and deployment of software.
ElectricAccelerator unleashes the power of the development cloud for build acceleration, accurately executing parallel builds across scalable clusters of standard hardware to reduce build times by as much as 20x.
