The document discusses the benefits of automating various IT projects and processes using automation tools. It describes how automation can speed up middleware upgrades, application migrations, building private clouds, core application upgrades, platform migrations, and rearchitecting IT environments. The document also summarizes RapidDeploy, an application release automation tool, and its plugin for DataPower which allows automating tasks like taking snapshots of DataPower domains, deploying domain changes, and managing DataPower devices.
This presentation looks at the practical issues for moving applications to the cloud.
It addresses the need to choose the applications carefully and how to decide which type of cloud platform is suitable for delivering cloud benefits.

Kovair Polarian Adapter
Kovair Omnibus Adapter for Polarian connects Polarian ALM with other connected tools in the ecosystem, by enabling bi-directional synchronization of work items. The adapter provides integration which allows disparate teams to collaborate without having to leave their respective work environments. Kovair Omnibus Polarian ALM integration to connect Polarian products to tools like Micro Focus ALM, Jira, and other tool teams can increase productivity through real-time seamless collaboration across best-of-breed tools. Omnibus integration helps to achieve the cross-tool traceability and reporting, including tracing of defects found during test execution, eliminating the need for the manual job of doing the same.

1. Compelling Events for Automation
• Middleware Upgrades It’s great when new vendors
bring out new features - but often taking advantage of
them takes a good deal of time and effort to upgrade
the new infrastructure - and introduces risk. Automating
the upgrade project speeds it up, reduces the risk and
builds a more manageable platform in the future.
• Migrating off ‘Premium Product’ With the economy
as it is, more organizations are forced to tighten their
belts, and one area that has come under particular
scrutiny is the annual cost of maintaining installed
software. Some organizations have made the decision
to move less business critical applications off more
expensive middleware onto open-source platforms
such as JBoss and Tomcat. This type of project is
accelerated when it’s automated and an automation
tool makes managing hybrid or heterogeneous
environments much easier.
• Building a PAAS or a private cloud With pressure
on businesses to deliver more innovation to their
customers, faster, we see many of our customers
building Platforms As A Service and private clouds.
These are a lot faster and quicker to set up using an
automation tool, and a lot quicker to manage demand
once they are up and running.
• Core business application upgrades or migrations
Many of our customers occasionally need to upgrade
or even replace their core business applications - often
complex, multi-layered, integrated systems that have
evolved over time and have many integration points
and are absolutely critical to the minute by minute
operations of the business. Using an automation tool
can reduce the risk and time associated with such
a project.
• Platform migrations Sometimes it’s time to move
from one platform to another - for instance, customers
sometimes feel that a UNIX based platform will
offer them performance advantages over an OS400
platform. But moving hundreds of middleware
applications might seem like a challenge too far -
without automation.
• Rearchitecting Change is a constant and businesses
need to continually evolve their IT infrastructure
and operations, build new environments for things
like Disaster Recovery and automating the build
and deployment of these new environments means
delivering them faster.

DataPower Insights
• This plugin augments the framework server with
the ability to take a snapshot of a DataPower
domain (development domain) and store the
domain configuration in the SCM tool defined
for the RapidDeploy™ DataPower project. This
domain is then packaged into a release and can
be deployed to further downstream domains.
• Domain specific values are stored in a data
dictionary and are dynamically injected into the
package at deployment time.
RapidDeploy™ Plugin for Datapower
RapidDeploy™ provides organizations with Application Release Automation capabilities
to reduce costs, improve productivity and time to value and assure compliance. There
is a range of plugins available to extend the core automation framework capabilities to
most available platforms and perform integrations throughout the DevOps toolchain.
This datasheet refers to the Datapower plugin.
Plugins are downloaded through the Plugin Manager console in RapidDeploy™, or from the MidVision
website at www.midvision.com.
