Serena Software Releases Orchestrated IT Solutions v4.5 Catering to DevOps
Serena Software, the leader in Orchestrated IT solutions, announced some major changes to its award-winning Orchestrated IT solution set to cater to IT shops that have embraced the DevOps movement.
Since DevOps has become a primary driver for IT organizations that deliver Revenue Applications (RevApps)–or those apps that directly transact customer activity and bring in considerable revenue to the enterprise–the changes in its Orchestrated IT solutions will ensure that business can respond to customer requests, competitive moves and changing market conditions.
With DevOps in mind, Serena delivers a series of enhancements that provide developers with self-service provisioning of environments, more cloud and virtualized infrastructure deployment targets, improved resource management and demand planning, as well as other enhancements that significantly reduce development and operations hassles.
Version version 4.5 of Serena’s Orchestrated IT solutions
Self-Service Provisioning of Environments
-
A new on-demand self-service portal enables developers and QA teams to immediately spin up, and later tear down, the environments they need for application development and testing.
-
Developer self-service capabilities free IT operations staff from manual provisioning so they can focus on IT infrastructure and performance improvements for the business.
Release Automation Targets Now include Windows Azure and VMware ESX/ESXi

Hassle-Free Capturing Of Change Request Actuals

-
Business change requests can be easily tracked from planning through to development.
