Perforce Enables Secure and Performant Continuous Delivery on VMware vCloud Air
August 2014 by Marc Jacob
Perforce Software announced the availability of the Perforce versioning engine on VMware vCloud® Air™, providing highly performing repositories that serve as a “single source of truth" for all of a company’s global development assets. The combination of Perforce and VMware vCloud Air brings scalability, visibility and security to development environments, along with the flexibility of on- and off-premises production systems.
Perforce uses VMware vCloud Air to support its own global development and has seen first-hand the benefits the two companies now bring to shared customers. The performance of Perforce deployed on vCloud Air was identical to its on-premises deployment using similar resources. vCloud Air allowed Perforce to set up a secure environment with the same skill set used to manage enterprise environments. The combined result is a hybrid on-premises and public cloud environment that provides the security, visibility and compliance required when dealing with business-critical intellectual property.
Perforce enables Continuous Delivery, a development methodology that helps businesses release better products more quickly by keeping software in a releasable state at all times. Key versioning requirements for the practice include having a single repository for all enterprise assets, scalability to support highly automated processes, support for collaboration across multi-functional teams, and visibility across all projects.
VMware vCloud Air is a secure, dedicated hybrid cloud service operated by VMware, built on the trusted foundation of VMware vSphere®. The service supports existing workloads and third-party applications, as well as new application development, giving IT a common platform for seamlessly extending its data center into the cloud.
