End-to end application
deployment automation by leading retailer is latest example of Nolio's
success in cloud and virtualised environments
Nolio, a leading provider of application release automation software today announced that Tesco,
a leading $40b global retailer, has adopted Nolio ASAP as its standard
solution for application release automation across Tesco.com. Nolio ASAP
will be used to support Tesco’s deployment automation vision across
their highly virtualized datacenters and ensure smooth and efficient
application deployments for Tesco.com.
Tesco sells through 5,380 stores globally, employing over 500,000
employees and it's also one of the world’s largest and fastest growing
online retailers, with offerings in markets as diverse as motor
insurance, home electrical and clothing. IT plays a major role in
Tesco’s overall success and record for innovation by converting manual
application service procedures into automated processes, meeting the
demand for fast, accurate and repeatable application releases in complex
environments.
Vipul Shah, Head of Release, Deployment and Software Configuration
Management at Tesco.com, said: “Nolio allows us to greatly speed-up
our roll-out processes and ensure higher quality of releases. The
product’s ease of use is hugely beneficial to us in terms of
maintainability and reducing overhead. Our core strategy for this decade
is to ‘Go Faster’ and we always strive to become better, simpler, and
cheaper. Nolio ASAP fits in well with this ethos and ensures we have the
right mechanism in place to deliver exciting new offerings to our
customers.”
The IT team at Tesco opted for Nolio as the core of its manifest
deployment strategy, which centralizes application release processes by
using an XML manifest as its live ‘system of record’ throughout the
deployment. This technique, supported by Nolio’s Application Release
Automation Platform, clearly separates deployment payload data from
process, so that application changes are deployed with nominal manual
changes, reducing the risk of human error, preserving the new
application architecture as the roll-out progresses and ensuring a
faster time to market.
Eran Sher, VP Products at Nolio said: “The ability to drive rapid IT
change and maintain the integrity of a SaaS application, while
minimizing human errors is finally here. Although a relatively new
concept, Manifest Deployment builds on the well-tried principle of
keeping data and process separate. The benefits for large IT users, when
faced with wholesale IT changes, are huge and we are delighted that
Tesco chose Nolio as the correct technology for this major IT shift.”
