OpenMake Software Moves Software Builds Into the Cloud

CHICAGO, Feb. 23, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- OpenMake Software today announced the release of OpenMake CloudBuilder.  CloudBuilder supports on-demand Cloud Reservations and Provisioning as part of the Software Build to Release process.  

CloudBuilder provides on-demand build platform services reducing operational cost by eliminating the need for maintaining multiple physical build machines. Because developers are beginning to leverage the Cloud for utilizing different machine configuration, they need easier ways to automate the provisioning process as part of the development life cycle.   CloudBuilder serves this need by automating the delivery of machine provisioning into the build to release process.   CloudBuilder leverages both public and private Cloud environments supporting the coordination and control of your virtual build machines.

Tracy Ragan, Co-Founder and COO of OpenMake Software explains, "Developers are quickly adopting the use of virtual machines as part of their development toolset.  CloudBuilder allows for them to more easily access cloud resources as part of the build to release workflow. This substantially reduces the configuration "drift" between development, QA and production build machines and substantially improves repeatability across these diverse environments."

"We are thrilled that CloudBuilder is built upon CA Virtual Automation," said Roger Pilc, general manager, Virtual and Automation, CA Technologies. "Integrating CA Virtual Automation into OpenMake CloudBuilder delivers a simplified and automated method of cloud provisioning needed in the software development to release process."

CloudBuilder's key benefits include the automatic construction and de-construction of build servers on an as needed basis reducing development cost by eliminating the need for multiple physical build machines.  CloudBuilder also eliminates the drift between development, testing and production machine configurations and standardizes  architectural components across the life cycle.

CloudBuilder is available immediately from OpenMake Software and supports VCenter, EC2, and Hyper-V Cloud environments.  Companies interested in learning more about CloudBuilder should go to www.OpenMakeSoftware.com.
