Attendees to Test Drive the New Urbancode Automation Server as well as
Urbancode's Popular AnthillPro ALA Server
SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Urbancode, leader in
Continuous Integration, Build Management, and Application Lifecycle
Automation (ALA), today unveiled a new automation server at Software
Development Conference & Expo West (SD West, http://www.sdexpo.com).
Visitors to Urbancode's booth # 212 can see a live demonstration of the
Urbancode Automation Server, designed to automate processes that do not
neatly fall into well defined lifecycle stages. Urbancode will also
demonstrate AnthillPro ALA, its full-featured, enterprise-level server that
is aimed at automating specific lifecycle stages such as Continuous
Integration, Build Management, Deployment, Test Orchestration, and Release.
"SD West provides an ideal venue for demonstrating our expanded product
line. We are introducing the Urbancode Automation Server, created at the
request of customers seeking to automate ancillary processes," said
Urbancode president Maciej Zawadzki. "We are also showing visitors how our
flagship tool, AnthillPro 3.4, provides automated solutions in Continuous
Integration, Build and Dependency Management, Deployment Automation, Test
Orchestration, and Release Management. Visitors dropping by the booth can
get a hands-on introduction to the Urbancode Automation Server and
AnthillPro."
Urbancode Automation Server Complements Lifecycle Automation
The new Urbancode Automation Server provides complementary automation
to AnthillPro and other targeted lifecycle automation solutions. Utilizing
the same technology as AnthillPro, the Urbancode Automation Server executes
processes across a grid of distributed agents to provide automation related
to but not directly a part of any specific application lifecycle stage. The
Urbancode Automation Server offers customers features such as:
-- Web 2.0 user interface -- no XML file editing or scripting required;
interface offers a drill-down view of steps and log files
-- Flexible process execution -- through the user interface, web service
API, or Cron-like schedule
-- Extensible step types -- ships with a pre-installed catalog of steps
to automate command and script execution, file transfer, report
generation, and more
-- Custom step types -- create new step types in addition to the
pre-installed catalog
-- Step timeout feature prevents hanging commands
-- Step distribution -- assigns steps to agents based on resource
criteria and load balancing
-- Flexible notifications -- customize schemes to notify individual users
on procedure success, failure, or abort
-- User-defined, role-based security
"Whereas AnthillPro is targeted at specific lifecycle stages such as
CI, Build, Deploy and Release, and provides specific features that add
value in those areas, the Automation Server exposes some of the raw power
behind AnthillPro to achieve more distributed process automation,"
concluded Zawadzki.
"We congratulate Urbancode on their new automation server," said Beth
Kuzmak, vice president of engineering of Blue Bell, Pennsylvania-based
Portico Systems. "We've been using AnthillPro for more than a year to
automate our software builds and deployments. AnthillPro helped our
software development team to streamline and automate processes,
significantly reducing manual work. AnthillPro is configurable to fit our
business needs and easily integrates with other tools."
