XebiaLabs
XebiaLabs, the recognized leader in enterprise-class DevOps and continuous delivery software tools, today announced expanded dual-mode DevOps capabilities in its XebiaLabs DevOps Platform version 7.1. Many core DevOps tools are designed for developers, but a purely technical design doesn’t meet the needs of large enterprises scaling DevOps across hundreds of teams and thousands of users. Enterprises need a strong DevOps orchestration and automation platform to provide control, visibility, decision support, reporting, compliance and security, which are often lacking in developer-oriented DevOps point tools. XebiaLabs’ new “as code” features work concurrently with the company’s highly acclaimed graphical user interface for release orchestration and deployment automation, allowing users to choose their preferred mode of operation.
