SPARKL® brings deployment into the Agile process
CHALLENGES
Agile development teams do not consider infrastructure provisioning until too late
Architecture blueprints require redundant infrastructure for ‘just in case’ activity peaks
Infrastructure provisioning is either overly static and does not respond to dynamic business requirements, or features a constant deluge of configs and is ultimately unworkable
SOLUTIONS
Combine your processes
Currently, application development is treated as a separate, distinct step from infrastructure provisioning, (often done by different teams). SPARKL changes this, bringing the two together: application flow and infrastructure provisioning become one and the same. Infrastructure, network and application management are combined for service development and operation.
Optimise your performance environment
Applications are designed from the outset to leverage network resources in an intelligent manner, creating an optimised performance environment that resolves the issues caused by immediately out-of-date, inefficient and unworkable application architectures, demands for redundant infrastructure that is only used during activity peaks, and endless, fractured configs.
Automate the things you need to
SPARKL automates infrastructure policies, resource allocation and actions to respond to continually changing business requirements.
