HP has enhanced its cloud application offerings to increase collaboration between development, testing, infrastructure and operations teams, enabling businesses to break down IT silos, and allowing them to deliver high-quality, innovative applications for hybrid and cloud environments.
“Application innovation is hindered by the silos that exist between development, testing and operations teams, leading to delays, missed opportunities and potential application defects,” says Subbu Iyer, VP, Product and Strategy, Applications, Software, HP.
“By integrating information and processes from IT operations into application life cycle management, HP provides a critical foundation for DevOps, enabling organisations to drive business results through the continuous delivery of innovative applications.”
The updated versions of HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and HP Performance Center (PC) allow companies to drive enterprise innovation through the continuous delivery of applications with new Lab Management Automation and Continuous Application Performance Delivery features.
Iyer says companies are permanently under pressure to deliver innovative applications that drive results. At the same time, they need the applications to adapt to changing needs throughout their life cycles.
For the continuous delivery of high-quality applications to happen, businesses are adopting DevOps, a set of software delivery practices that stress better communication and collaboration between application development, testing, infrastructure and operations teams, he explains.
He says DevOps helps unify IT silos through a set of common standards and automation practices, enabling continuous delivery of applications and services that adapt to evolving enterprise needs.
In addition, to help executives get better visibility into the application development life cycle, HP has enhanced its ALM 11.5 platform. The enhancements provide pre-configured reports with ongoing information about application progress.
HP ALM 11.5 is also integrated with HP Enterprise Collaboration software, which enables social media-style, context-based conversations between key stakeholders across the application life cycle.
