Foglight Release Manager, part of Quest’s Application Management portfolio, provides deployment automation, enforces separation of duties, and audits the deployment process for business-critical distributed applications. It enables application architects, release managers and administrators to implement changes and manage configurations with the speed, discipline, control and visibility required by today’s businesses. PRODUCT FEATURES Model-based Management: with Foglight Release Manager, you can define and configure your unique deployment models independent of deployment targets. This allows your IT Operations staff to create and automate a repeatable, yet flexible process for application deployments, eliminating the need to rebuild for every environment. Change and Operational History Reporting: With industry regulations requiring IT organizations to provide more visibility into their application change processes, it’s critical to keep a complete audit trail on all change and operational actions. Foglight Release Manager records both changes to your deployment models and your deployment activity so that managers and auditors can get the who, what and when information about application changes. Role-based Security: One of the challenges in controlling the application release process is enforcing a separation of duties. With Foglight Release Manager, managers can easily define roles and the tasks those roles can perform – ensuring a release management process that meets security and audit requirements. Custom Script Integration: Foglight Release Manager allows for the integration of a customer’s home grown scripts into the deployment process, enabling them to be executed in a more secure, controlled manner as part of the overall deployment process. Customize Server Templates: Foglight Release Manager offers pre-defined templates for common application, database and Web servers. It also provides the ability to customize the default settings and behavior to create new server templates in order to best meet an individual customer’s requirements. BENEFITS TO THE USER Lifecycle Integration – Deployments represent the key transition point in an application lifecycle. They are the basis for connection from development to testing and from testing to production. Consequently, deployment solutions need to integrate with development lifecycle and production management solutions. Foglight Release Manager fills that void between development and production and ensures a reliable hand-off of the application from the development team to the IT Operations team. Control and Auditing – Today’s compliance-oriented environment has put IT organizations under more scrutiny to implement preventative controls and show accountability for actions performed. Foglight Release Manager provides role-based security to enforce separation of duties as well as provides an audit trail of both change activity and deployment events.
