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.
