UC4 Software is a multinational corporation specializing in enterprise automation solutions. UC4 delivers a unified automation platform that allows companies to orchestrate business processes, applications, and IT infrastructure.[1] The platform handles application process automation, supports hybrid computing environments, and automates any prerequisite tasks from one platform. This "ONE Automation" vision significantly reduces the cost and complexity associated with using multiple tools to perform the same tasks.[2] The unified platform supports six traditional server automation functions: run book, job scheduling / workload automation, application process, application release, managed file transfer, and virtualization management.
[edit] Application Release Automation
UC4 Application Release Automation[3] is a solution for automating the end-to-end software release process. The complexity of IT environments and the growing adoption of Cloud computing are driving most IT organizations to automate software deployments.
The UC4 solution consists of two integrated components for managing both the release process and software deployment:
- Project Orchestrator - release process coordination, including dependency mapping, centralized approval process, test environment reservation
- Release Manager - automated deployment of applications across large server infrastructures; this component is based on the UC4 automation engine
