Technology and Software companies often find themselves at the sharp end of criticism, since everyone expects them to know how to build cool products and write software fast. That is their core business, so of course they know how to automate software development, scale at speed, and maintain a vulnerability-free code base. Unfortunately that’s hard, especially when companies are pushing the technological envelope.
Brand reputation and corporate governance make this a key challenge for the technology and software industry. With the push for faster and faster releases, teams are under pressure to speed up development without compromising security, traceability and compliance. Companies need to win the speed vs. quality paradox that exists when pushing for continuous updates and zero vulnerabilities.
Customer and company growth can present a challenge for DevOps across a large tech company, and swift onboarding of new users and developers, is essential. Admins need an easy way to assign permissions and access privileges. Expanding users and developers will drive up network transactions, storage and performance requirements - so any DevOps tools need deployment flexibility and easy scalability.
Adding more value to the customer experience is the goal for all tech and software companies. Efficient processing of customer applications, easy to use interfaces and delivery of millions of petabytes of consumer data available at the touch or swipe of the screen are now table stakes. Frequent updates are the new norm for high technology applications and products.
Having distributed development teams across the world, drives the need to work collaboratively with data consistency and availability across teams, crucial to maintaining agility. Adopting a platform that has the scope to support On-prem, cloud, multi-cloud and hybrid is essential for operational flexibility and scalability. Having the ability to securely deliver production software to remote locations to support global deployments is now a common requirement.
Automating key steps and processes not only reduces the time to market but can also help ensure any regulatory compliance. Adopting a platform that can help you orchestrate and automate your DevOps pipeline will streamline internal processes, drive up resource utilization, improve developer productivity and shorten time-to-market.
To deliver on customer expectations and not fall behind competition, today's technology companies need an end-to-end fully automated DevOps platform for distributing trusted software releases from code to production. The JFrog Platform ensures software flows quickly and free from interruption across your entire CI/CD pipeline.
Trusting that your production builds are free of any vulnerabilities is of primary importance for any technology enterprise. JFrog Xray, with its native integration with Artifactory and high availability support, is the ideal security and compliance solution. Integrate built-in vulnerability scanning and license compliance as part of your pipeline.
Having a resilient infrastructure and DevOps platform is a must in the world of technology and software, so you can guarantee service availability for your customers at all times. Artifactory and the JFrog Platform have capabilities and deployment options to enable you to meet these tough-to-hit KPIs and keep your services online and operational to avoid costly downtime.
Truly automated CI/CD processes are essential to maximizing software delivery efficiency and minimizing errors. JFrog Pipelines is a next-generation CI/CD automation and orchestration tool that embraces and enhances your pipeline processes by providing a centralized command and control mechanism across all your DevOps pipelines.
Total digital transformation requires DevOps adoption across every organization. The tech world demands an all-in-one solution that provides speed, security, efficiency, and high availability. The JFrog Platform brings together all JFrog products under a single user interface and a set of controls to provide developers and administrators a seamless DevOps experience
For large enterprise organizations software development has moved from the realm of highly localized teams to a collaborative endeavour of large teams at global scale. This global collaboration requires an architecture for managing software artifacts and deployable packages that is also global in scale. Artifactory is the only binary repository manager offering multi-push replication, allowing you to simultaneously replicate a local repository to multiple, geographically distant target sites. This critical capability supports geographically distributed teams sharing the same repositories and development pipelines, and enables smooth geographic failover and fast recovery in the event of a disaster. Since replication is asynchronous, the process is fast, minimizes the time during which repositories are not synchronized, and does not incur any slowdown in responsiveness.
Playing such a central role in the CI/CD process, the JFrog services can become mission-critical components that any downtime can have severe consequences. JFrog services can be configured for high availability with a cluster of two or more active-active nodes on the same local area network (LAN). With a clustered architecture, the JFrog services maximizes your uptime and can take it to levels of up to “five nines” availability. The redundant server architecture enables non-disruptive upgrades and allows your system to accommodate larger load bursts with no compromise to performance. With horizontal server scalability, you can easily increase your capacity to meet any load requirements as the organization grows.
Most enterprise organizations have a need for managing artifact data varying from a few terabytes to petabytes. JFrog services offer a variety of options for storage, and allow complete freedom to combine different storage solutions to meet the needs of enterprises at any scale. Artifactory supports a variety of enterprise-scale storage capabilities including S3 Object Storage, Google Cloud Storage and advanced filestore sharding to provide unlimited scalability, disaster recovery, and unmatched stability and reliability.
