  1. RELEASE WITH CONFIDENCE Prevent production outages and ensure accuracy and consistency during releases. Demos - Click to Watch Release Validation Solution Martin PerlinMarketing Director, Evolven Release Validation (3:13) Use Cases (3:13)

  2. THE RISK OF DOWNTIME IN NUMBERS • of availability and performance errors are due to faulty configurations • Enterprise Management Association

  3. LIMITED VISIBILITY INTO GRANULAR CONFIGURATION CHALLENGE “RELEASE AND PRAY” PLATFORM COMPLEXITY AGILE DEVELOPMENT GREATER DISTRIBUTION • Number of releases is radically higher • Increase of release events • More pressure on release management teams • Greater task to maintain stability • More distributed software systems, development process, and resources • Makes for less visibility • Adds to overall management challenge • Evolutionary and increasing complexity of platforms • Many moving pieces • Need to fit together seamlessly STABILITY EFFICIENCY COMPLIANCE

  4. COMMON EXAMPLESLittle Changes – Big Impact One File Not Delivered Unchanged Connection String Overwritten Change ProblemA change made in the production configuration prior to release is overwritten by the new release. ProblemWhile distributing files to multiple servers, one file does not reach one of the servers. ProblemA connection string that defines the connectivity between application and database is not changed. ResultPeriodic issues are created that are very hard to reproduce. ResultThe production application points to the test database. ResultA problem is created in the production environment.

  5. EVOLVEN COMPARISON • A Granular Configuration Automation solution that helps to obtain and maintain environment stability • Identify and analyze changes and differences that put environment stability at risk, by: • Comparing different environments • Comparingcurrent environment with its historical working snapshot or golden baseline • Key capabilities: • Compares the entire environment (applications and underlying infrastructure) • Compares environment configuration and content in-depth • Analyzes changes and differences with focus on criticality and impact CLICK TO WATCH VIDEO

  6. SOLUTION 1 • Gain detailed visibility of what is being released down to the most granular level of the configuration parameter • Compare production and pre-production environments • Ensure that pre-production sufficiently emulates production Provide Visibility Into Release Content

  7. SOLUTION 2 • Guarantee accurate validation to confirm that execution adheres to the release plan • Detect changes introduced by the release in pre-production • Ensure that testing and release teams are aware of the exact release content Ensure Transitions As Expected

  8. SOLUTION 3 • Synchronize changes introduced directly to production with the validated release • Compare production and pre-production • Verify the accurate transition of release content and configuration Assure Integrity In Environments

  9. SOLUTION The Power of Evolven Comparison • Compares the entire IT environment • Compare applications and their underlying software infrastructure stack • Including: applications, front-end servers, middleware, databases, messaging layer and operating systems • Delivers in-depth, granular comparison • Drill-down to the most granular level of the individual configuration parameter from any source • Including configuration files, registry, database schema, reference data and, stored procedures • Applies comparison analytics • Analyze changes and differences with a focus on their criticality and impact

  10. BENEFITS Release with Confidence ASSURE INTEGRITY IN ENVIRONMENTS PROVIDE VISIBILITY INTO RELEASE CONTENT ENSURE THE RELEASE IS TRANSITIONED AS EXPECTED

  11. OTHER EVOLVEN SOLUTIONSLess Risk, More Uptime and Greater Stability Release Validation Incident Investigation Release with Confidence Brings certainty and reduce risk, by assuring integrity in environments, providing visibility into the release content and ensuring that the release transitions as expected A High Stakes Race Against Time Slash investigation time and effort by a staggering 50%, minimize system downtime and prevent incidents from impacting overall operations Disaster Recovery Verification ITIL Don't Let Your Disaster Recovery Environment Let You Down Verify consistency and integrity of your disaster recovery environment, and enable a compliant environment that won't let you down Boost Your ITIL Initiatives Evolven Comparison assists in many ITIL v3 areas – helping customers achieve less risk, more uptime and greater stability.
