Progress® Sonic™
Deployment Manager enables widely distributed SOA deployments with
centralized management
BEDFORD, Mass.--Progress Software Corporation
(NASDAQ: PRGS), a global supplier of application infrastructure software
used to develop, deploy, integrate and manage business applications,
today announced the general availability of the Progress®
Sonic™ Deployment Manager (SDM). Progress
Sonic products enable the integration and flexible re-use of
business applications within a large, physically distributed
service-oriented architecture (SOA). SDM extends the distributed
capabilities of the Sonic products to help enterprises streamline
incremental development and rollout of large-scale SOA deployments,
while keeping costs low.
“The sizable Sonic products installed base
provides plenty of real-world customer experience to guide product
direction,” said Brad Shimmin, Principal
Analyst, Application Infrastructures, Current Analysis. “As
organizations become more sophisticated in their SOA deployments, tools
like the Sonic Deployment Manager are necessary to reduce the time and
cost associated with managing those deployments.”
A key benefit of SDM is its ability to allow enterprises to model all
aspects of a Sonic product deployment, independent of physical
deployment details, and to test production environments prior to
roll-out. Additionally, by automating consistent and repeatable
installations and configurations, SDM reduces the time to deploy at a
remote site from days to minutes, even at remote sites with no IT staff.
Components of both Progress Sonic ESB and Progress SonicMQ®
(the enterprise messaging infrastructure that underpins Sonic ESB®)
are managed with SDM, including brokers, clusters, container and
services.
Two of the key use cases for the Sonic Deployment Manager product are
lifecycle management and large scale deployments. In both of these use
cases SDM delivers on the critical need to have consistent, repeatable
deployments both between lifecycle stages and also across a widely
distributed environment. Unique to SDM is its ability to create a
completely reproducible package of all components and configurations of
a given deployment instance. This capability allows precise rollback and
re-creation of any given environment, enabling configuration management,
auditing and regulatory compliance.
“Many of our customers, and especially those
that have a headquarters in one location but a physical presence in
several locations, use SDM for what they call ‘hands-off
deployments,’”
said David White, Sonic Product Marketing Manager, Progress Software
Corporation. “SDM is critical for enterprises
that succeeded at the SOA project level and are ready to move their SOA
project enterprise wide.”
The Progress Sonic Deployment Manager is available immediately and
pricing starts at $15,000.
