ServiceMesh Announces Support for VMware vCloud Automation Center


SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 27 — ServiceMesh, provider of the industry's only enterprise-grade cloud management platform, today announced upcoming support for VMware vCloud Automation Center (formerly DynamicOps Cloud Automation Center). With the ServiceMesh Agility Platform, customers will be able to extend vCloud Automation Center to realize the strategic benefits of cloud computing by accelerating the release and deployment of applications while maintaining enterprise-class governance, compliance and security.

The integration will allow the ServiceMesh Agility Platform to release, deploy and manage applications and application platforms, directing vCloud Automation Center to deploy and manage underlying infrastructure based on extensible, centralized policies defined and managed in the Agility Platform. With ServiceMesh's central policy engine, customers will experience true self-service, on-demand access to applications and application platforms with full control and without IT staff in the middle of provisioning activities.

"We are pleased to support VMware's industry leading infrastructure tools," said Eric Pulier, CEO of ServiceMesh. "By providing vCloud Automation Center customers with centralized, extensible policy management and DevOps tool chain automation, enterprise customers can fully realize the business value of their hybrid clouds."

ServiceMesh's Agility Platform uses the power of cloud computing to accelerate the application release lifecycle with governance, control and ongoing management. With the Agility Platform, infrastructure and cloud API-independent application blueprints and configuration management compliance policies combine to bring full-featured application lifecycle orchestration to enterprise IT. The Agility Platform helps organizations realize the benefits of DevOps, removing bottlenecks and improving efficiencies across the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) with development tool chain integration and intuitive drag-and-drop release automation. With ServiceMesh's integration with Puppet Labs, the Agility Platform can deploy a wide range of middleware solutions to create reusable Common Application Platforms (CAPs) that ensure adherence to the production Standard Operating Environment (SOE) and enforce application-level compliance policy across the SDLC. With the Agility Platform, enterprise development teams can innovate more efficiently in support of the business, while governance, compliance and security policies are enforced.

The ServiceMesh vCloud Automation Center integration is being made available for Beta customer trials in Q1 2013, with General Availability in Q2 2013.
