Leading open source consulting firm, LSD Information Technology, has partnered with CloudBees, the enterprise Jenkins company and continuous delivery (CD) leader. The CloudBees Jenkins Platform is the industry's most proven, fully-featured technology platform for implementing continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) practices. The CloudBees Jenkins Platform is powered by open source Jenkins, the popular open source automation server in use by organisations around the globe.
LSD's MD, Sven Lesicnik, says that in addition to offering customers the best open source solutions, Jenkins is a technology that remains core to the LSD focus - open source everything! "There are good proprietary products in this space, but as with all the open source technology, the rate of innovation, adoption and cost make open source solutions the most attractive," he adds.
He says that open source Jenkins dominates the CI and CD space. "The CloudBees Jenkins Platform enables Jenkins at enterprise scale, and has robust features, including scalability, high availability, simplified administration and role-based access control. With the CloudBees Jenkins Platform, many global companies are able to benefit from CI and CD, and accelerate the delivery of quality software."
In addition, it offers distributed team management, advanced security, analytics, lightweight container support and optimised performance. "The CloudBees Jenkins Platform essentially extends open source Jenkins with key enterprise features and capabilities that are a must for any mission-critical IT software."
Stefan Lesicnik, CTO at LSD, adds that the platform is by far the industry's most proven and notable solution for continuous delivery and a critical foundation for a DevOps transformation. "Chances are, that developers are already using Jenkins. CloudBees provides enterprise support and governance around it." The CloudBees Jenkins Platform enables IT businesses to speed up application delivery by applying the continuous delivery approach to their application lifecycle with a proven technology foundation.
"We are thrilled to be able to add CloudBees to LSD's solutions, as it is a key piece of automation and central orchestration in DevOps," he concludes. "CloudBees is a perfect fit for us because our aim is to continually bring innovation, practicality, reliability and performance to our customers through our best-in-class open source solutions, and CloudBees enables us to do exactly that."
"With the increasing adoption of Continuous Delivery our channel partners around the world aid CloudBees greatly to deliver technology and services to those organisations that wish to transform their IT software development process and transition to a DevOps culture. LSD has an excellent reputation of being a leading player in both the Continuous Delivery and DevOps arena. As a platinum partner, LSD is a great addition to the CloudBees team. Both new and existing customers will benefit greatly from our collaboration as we expand the adoption of Enterprise Jenkins in South Africa" - Steven Harris, EMEA sales Director, CloudBees.
