Release Management

mValent Integrity™ delivers automated release management tools so that IT teams can build new application environments efficiently, provision configuration changes completely and validate that changes are made correctly.

As new applications progress through their lifecycle, IT must build new versions of the application infrastructure which typically requires weeks of time and the coordinated efforts of numerous different domain experts. There are two reasons for this overhead: 1) the infrastructure is a complex mix of application servers, Web servers, databases, and middleware; and 2) IT teams do not possess the tools to fully automate the process.

And later, when IT provisions configuration changes en masse, the result is unexpected downtime and/or performance problems. That’s because, until now, they’ve had no tool to validate the consistency of the change everywhere.

mValent Integrity delivers automated Release Management features, including:

  • Templates that Automate Building or Cloning New Application Environments – mValent Integrity delivers re-usable templates so that new versions of an application environment—an individual application server or a complete application stack—can be promoted quickly.  With this capability, IT achieves in minutes what previously took days, while simultaneously enforcing IT best practices, speeding application delivery and improving the quality of the application infrastructure stack.
  • Automated Change Modeling - mValent Integrity uses a Dynamic Model-driven approach to Configuration Management, Change Management and Release Management so that IT knows the "big picture" impact of changes before making them.
  • Automated Change Provisioning – mValent Integrity saves time and effort by packaging sets of configuration settings that span multiple layers of the application infrastructure and automatically schedules the deployment of them out to all environments—from development to QA, and from staging to production. This ensures that the changes are made everywhere they need to be made.
  • Automated Change Validation –  mValent Integrity scans proposed change sets for errors and inconsistencies, ensuring the changes are made correctly, completely and consistently, resulting in higher quality and uptime for your IT application environment.
