In the lead-up to what has become regarded as SA's major IT Management Symposium, CA Southern Africa highlights the role of DevOps in the IT landscape.
"DevOps accelerates high-velocity development with superior quality, enabling businesses to deliver better, stronger, faster, applications," says Jaco Greyling, CA Southern Africa manager, service assurance & application delivery.
Greyling says IT organisations are changing their approach to enterprise applications, from large and monolithic to more dynamic, distributed, and heterogeneous models. "These applications are being implemented with a variety of technologies, including cloud computing, services-oriented architectures (SOA), business process management (BPM), rich Internet applications (RIA) and enterprise service buses (ESB).
Regardless of the implementation approach, the overriding pattern is the same - re-usable components shared across multiple application tiers, all of which are subject to frequent change. This translates into greater agility and enhanced ability to respond to market needs.
"It is important for organisations and their CIOs to understand that DevOps is more than just a set of 'tools', it's a process and businesses need to embrace all parts of it if they are to fully realise the benefits."
Jaco Greyling is one of the speakers at the forthcoming CA Southern Africa IT Management Symposium, taking place on 20 February at Vodacom World, in Johannesburg, where his presentation will reveal what it takes to truly embrace the DevOps movement and push application delivery to new heights.
