The Market Demands Us. . .

This means building, testing, and releasing quality software faster and more frequently.

. . . to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software. First of the Twelve Principles behind the Agile Manifesto

Delays in software processes

Poor software quality

Lack of end to end visibility

Low team productivity & collaboration

Poor resource utilization

Next-Gen Agile ALM Accelerates Cycle Time

•  Agile = frequent, smaller deliveries •  Continuous Integration = build/test every check-in •  Continuous Deployment = deploy every build passing tests •  Continuous Delivery = release into production •  GOAL: Faster TTM, Higher Quality, Rapid Feedback

Customer Case Study

Customer Challenge

•  Business-critical applications powering customer interactions

•  5+ apps, 20+ projects •  100+ developers in 3 regions •  8 environments to be dynamically

provisioned •  Dev issues

•  Limited visibility into B-T-D process •  Unacceptable process latency and

errors •  Does not scale well

•  IT issues •  Basic virtualization does not support

Dev well •  Long delays to setup Dev environment

Electric Cloud Value

•  Smart Development Cloud 2.0 •  ElectricCommander & Vmware

vCloud Director •  On-ramp to Hybrid cloud with private

and public resources •  For Development

•  Full visibility into B-T-D process •  Time to execute process 3 hours -> 30 mins •  Errors in process execution 10 -> 0

•  For Ops •  Time to setup environment: 7 days -> 2 hours

Electric Cloud Value Customer Challenge •  Leading provider of integrated

education technology •  Supports K-college education and

9 million students •  IT/Software app/platform is

mission critical to business goals •  High quality & uptime goals

•  Dev Challenges •  Slow time to market – dev-test-

deploy process limits value of agile process

•  Developer productivity hampered by manual processes

•  Not leveraging Vmware lab-manager VM environment optimally

•  Shared “private cloud” resource for build and test and deploy

•  For Development •  Automated configuration of

dev-test customized platform •  Hours -> 1 hour

•  Multiple platforms from same virtualized environment

•  Highly efficient use of virtualization

•  Tangible ROI •  Over $900K productivity gain

for developers •  Optimized infrastructure usage:

•  Dev team 100 –> 250 •  Zero infrastructure growth
