RALEIGH, N.C. — November 30, 2009 — rPath, an innovator in automating application deployment and maintenance, today announced enterprise-focused productivity and management enhancements to the rPath release automation platform. The upgrades refine the functionality and user experience of the industry’s first fully version controlled release automation solution, meeting the needs of each stakeholder in the enterprise release management process. These upgrades are the first product delivery against “Project Javelin,” which extends rPath’s unique system version controlled management model into the broader data center automation market.

In related news, rPath today announced a management solution for Red Hat Enterprise Linux; see “rPath Expands Operating System Coverage with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.”

“For enterprise IT, system complexity is emerging as the greatest threat to cost, compliance and service level agreements,” said Jake Sorofman, vice president of marketing for rPath. “At the center of the complexity challenge is the release management process—the tasks associated with creating, provisioning and maintaining software systems. With this latest rPath version, we’re arming IT organizations with the tools to easily standardize, automate, control and audit their release management processes, reducing delay, operating expenses and compliance risks.”

Anything we can do to improve application deployment and management has to be a good thing for the end user and the business. By automating the deployment and roll outs, we can empower application teams to manage their deployments, IT can focus more on maintaining production, and allow our teams to ensure that we have standardized configurations and deployments. To avoid those errors because a script hasn’t been run on one node in the right way, during the deployment process which can so easily be the difference between a working application and not. I’m off to read up more, and do check out the webinar next week.
