iDeployIt History Window
Click image to enlarge
iDeployIt is a flexible Software Deployment DevOps product for today's software deployment scenarios. It allows for local distributions and complex remote multi-server environment deliveries. It provides business logic gates to control and configure software before, during and after deployment, using configurable triggers. iDeployIt integrates with all CM tools or build processes providing version control extraction, software building and post-delivery customization as part of a deployment.

iDeployIt provides a straightforward model for the application infrastructure and governance models. Define users who can deploy, determine products to be deployed, where deployments are installed and any configuration scripts to be run for each product. Once defined, use the intuitive natural language interface to deploy, no need to know passwords or any details. Views provide a detailed accounting of all deployments in a centralized web-enabled interface. The ability to compare deployments against other deployments to look for problems, bottlenecks, or deployment details.

iDeployIt Details

iDeployIt is a flexible Software Deployment DevOps product for today's software deployment scenarios. It allows for local distributions and complex remote multi-server environments deliveries. It provides business logic gates to control and configure software before, during and after deployment, using configurable triggers. iDeployIt integrates with all CM tools or build processes providing version control extraction, software building and post-delivery customization as part of a deployment.

iDeployIt provides a straightforward model for the application infrastructure and governance models. Define users who can deploy, determine products to be deployed, where deployments are installed and any configuration scripts to be run for each product. Once defined, use the intuitive natural language interface to deploy, no need to know passwords or any details. Views provide a detailed accounting of all deployments in a centralized web-enabled interface. The ability to compare deployments against other deployments to look for problems, bottlenecks, or deployment details.

Some of the features included in iDeployIt:

Real-time Web-Enabled Interface provides a real-time central location to view and compare current and previous deployments and the ability to dig-down and view details of any Deployment.
Natural Language CMD interface provides a simple CMD for starting deployments where you can simply provide the Key Number or Product Name, Destination Location and Release String to deploy a product.
Completely Free Receiver Infrastructure is always included for iDeployIt. There is only a cost for the shipping license. There is no license or agent cost for receivers so you can deploy to as many locations as needed.
Triggerable Events During Deployment provide opportunities to customize the deployment process before, during and after the deployment. You can customize parts of the deployment at the origination and/or destination locations.
Integrates with all CM and Build Tools through an open interface that allows iDeployIt to easily call external products thus adding that products functionality to a "Deployment" while also allowing external products to easily call iDeployIt thus adding "Deployment Functionality" to that product.
Multiple parallel shippers/receivers are allowed to improve performance, take advantage of available bandwidth, provide location-specific policy or added security.
Drill-down Deployment Details reporting allows you to get to the root cause of a deployment problem in 1-2 clicks.
Historical View Windows allow you to view and compare current and previous deployments in real-time as well as provide the ability to drill-down and view details of any Deployment.
Deployment Details Dialogs show real-time deployment details with graphical representations of each step and the deployment as a whole. See Deployment Log entries containing details of the deployment including custom content written directly from your deployment scripts.
Detailed Bill-of-Materials Dialogs allow you to quickly view all files, directories and deployment triggers that were selected for the deployment.
Time Usage Graph Dialogs allow you to identify bottlenecks with easy-to-read Pie Charts. Quickly identify steps that took a significant amount of time and view their details with a single click.
Push or Pull Continuous Build or Deployment Capabilities are easily implemented because iDeployIt can call any CM tool to extract a configuration to deploy and those tool call iDeployIt to initial a deployment.
Versioned Controlled Deployments allow for repeatable redeployments and easy rollbacks.
Fine Grained User Permissions enable you to control who can deploy what products and where those products can be deployed.
