Composite Web Application Deployment
Many organizations are turning to composite web application (mash-ups) as a cost effective way to rapidly roll out business applications and to accelerate release cycles and improve information availability.
Composite apps can be developed quickly and easily, as they are drawn from existing components and code sets. These components may be selected functions from within other applications, or they may be entire systems whose outputs have been packaged as business functions, modules, or web services.
Unfortunately, the complexity, depth and dynamic nature of composite applications can present production deployment challenges. These challenges are compounded even further when sites are hosted from multiple data centers.
Manual and/or scripted processes fall short, delivering inconsistent completion results, delays, and management headaches. As environments expand and deployment timelines shrink, these processes can become too slow, too difficult and too costly to manage.
Failure to quickly deploy critical and/or timely code updates across the infrastructure can result in a serious competitive disadvantage, crippled business units, and unhappy customers.
RepliWeb Deployment (R-1) overcomes the challenges of pulling code from multiple sources and efficiently deploying updates into live production environments. Administrators rely on R-1 to deliver the essential scheduling, automation, rollback, security, and reporting capabilities needed to effectively manage code updates, ensuring application integrity across distributed environments.
Key R-1 Features
- Transactional Updates – Release code across all production servers at a specified point in time or event, ensuring consistency and application integrity.
- Deploy all Web Application Assets – Manage content, IIS Metabase configurations, .NET Assemblies, and COM+ Application updates.
- Automated Deployment – Execute updates on a scheduled, real-time and/or triggered basis.
- Job Delegation – Enable non-privileged Users (developers) to submit administrator-defined jobs via a Web UI.
- Efficient Operations – Transfer deltas between source and target, block-level recovery, compression and bandwidth control.
- Cross Platform Support – Deploy to and from Windows, UNIX, and Linux. For a complete list of supported platforms, click here.
- Centralized Management – Enhanced GUI, CLI, and API provide Administrators tight control and workflow integration.
