Why DevOps?

DevOps is a philosophy that aims to increase business agility by streamlining processes between Development and Operations organizations within enterprises. It is a disruptive change that affects communication, processes and tooling.

What is DevOps Catalyst?

DevOps Catalyst is a Product+Services offering by Grid Dynamics designed to address the needs of the modern enterprises to release code to production in a rapid, repeatable fashion. It combines our field experience with best of breed software and infrastructure offerings. We help your organization leverage the benefits of a cloud infrastructure, while carefully addressing the challenges and minimizing the risks.

Our experts will:

  • Examine your existing application testing and environment configuration practices.
  • Leverage our deep expertise and reference architecture documentation to provide a solution that will address key challenges and risks relevant to your organization.
  • If necessary, propose appropriate combination of software and cloud vendor offerings.
  • Initiate and execute a proof of concept (POC) project, providing you with key data points required to evaluate investment in an enterprise-wide roll out.
  • Assist you with production and offer post implementation support.
  • Collaborative release portal
    At the self-service portal, developers, QA, configuration managers and sysops work together to assemble a release through a customizable workflow.
  • Business insight dashboard
    For the business users, DevOps Catalyst provides an executive summary and key business metrics — release pipeline, process bottlenecks, project health and team velocity.
  • Versioning of all artifacts
    Each component of a release carries a version tag starting from the development and all the way into production. This applies to code, binaries, configuration files, release definition itself and more.
  • Automated app deployment
    Deployment of the new version of an application is fully automated, allowing a great deal of repeatability even across heterogeneous environments. Deployment instructions are versioned and tested as a part of the release.
  • Environment management
    All the environment definitions and policies — be it build, test or pre-prod — are managed in a centralized fashion, separate from the application configuration.
  • Private and public clouds
    Using cloud infrastructure for the short-lived environments and bursting decreases the operational cost and eliminates infrastructure bottlenecks. DevOps Catalyst supports major public cloud providers, as well as private cloud offerings from major vendors.
  • Hybrid SaaS model
    With DevOps Catalyst, only what must be on premises is located on premises. Most of the functionality is provided on a SaaS model, lowering the support and maintenance costs of the solution.
