Automating the Application Service Process: Nolio’s Patent-Pending Technology

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

The idea for Nolio’s patent-pending technology was sparked by an unmet need for a system that would enable process automation of multi-tier applications in a computer network with a plurality of computers, in which one or more of the application components are interdependent or hierarchical in terms of their operation.

Nolio’s patent-pending technology enables application process automation in a distributed environment by providing a distributed architecture in which each application component can communicate with the other application components, regardless of their physical location.

As complex as this sounds (and it is), we also wanted to make sure that a person who is not specialized in the application would be able to invoke this automated process on a plurality of environments. This is achieved by having two design phases. In the first phase the user, who is specialized in the application, designs the possible processes. In the second phase, a non-specialized operator maps these processes into the actual environment, such as a data center computer network.

The application process automation is preferably controlled at a management server, which enables the software to be managed, verified, monitored and tracked from a single location. The system provides management reports for the user (software professional) and to the company’s management level.

Among the many benefits of this invention:

It provides the automated deployment and life cycle maintenance of multi-tier applications.

It automates maintenance, control and support activities on the deployed software.

It verifies application functionality after deployment.

It automates disaster recovery activities on the deployed software.

It replaces manual operations.

It bridges the gap between application teams and operation teams.

It reduces Data Center deployment errors and costs.

Application Service Automation, Explained

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009

Application Service Automation is the automation of the tasks and services required for operating applications.

Data center applications are complex. They are made up of many components, they are distributed across large volumes of servers, and they undergo constant change. Relying on error-prone manual and scripted processes to service and maintain data center applications often translates into costly application downtime caused by configuration errors.

In the high-stakes world of application availability, your business simply cannot afford failures and downtime. Operations must gain control over application services, minimize downtime and eliminate service errors. Fully automating data center processes is the answer.

Nolio Application Service Automation is a software platform that automates application deployment, maintenance and auditing. IT process automation simplifies the process of managing the application op-cycle across your data center, heightening application quality, improving time-to-market, and dramatically reducing operational overhead and costs, delivering immediate productivity gains.

By automating application service tasks and eliminating all human intervention, the time and resources needed to manage application change are dramatically reduced, and application downtime is minimized, ensuring business continuity of mission-critical applications across the data center.

Welcome to the Official Blog of Nolio

Monday, February 9th, 2009

We are here to save you time and money. We are here to cut your costs and reduce your workload. We are here to streamline your data center processes by fully automating them.

As you probably know by now, relying on scripts to deploy, manage and make changes to your data center applications is highly ineffective. Scripts are prone to human errors. They place a heavy burden on operations staff to maintain them. They are costly in terms of time and significantly reduce productivity.

The only way to truly streamline data center processes is to fully automate them, and this is exactly what Nolio does. By automating data center processes, Nolio eliminates the use of scripts and provides customers with tremendous gains in efficiency and productivity.

We established this blog because we wanted a space where we could share our views on application service automation; tell you more about our exciting software; share customer success stories and more. Comments are on: please feel free to comment, to ask questions and to add your own input to anything we discuss here.
