View our matrix below to learn more about our manifold features.
| Feature | Nolio ASAP |
| Structure | |
| An application structure with built-in information, including application components, actions, workflows, parameters, architectures, tiers and environments. | |
| Multi-platform support. | |
| Actions & Processes | |
| A powerful application release deployment designer which enables development, QA and operations teams to design numerous release tasks – regardless of their programming skills. Read more about this feature |
|
| Built-in application actions to replace all existing manual operations, without the need for scripts and command line APIs. | |
| The ability to automate multi-tier workflows across distributed data centers without manual intervention. | |
| The ability to perform “one click” automation processes on distributed and heterogeneous servers (physical, virtual and cloud). | |
| The ability to perform “one click” automation processes on multi-tier & multi-server workflows with trigger-dependent action rules between the application tiers. For example: a workflow is started on the database servers, after a certain step the workflow will start on the application servers and, when completed, another workflow will continue on the database servers. | |
| The ability to perform conditions & rules between actions (i.e. success, fail, values). | |
| The facility to perform conditions and rules between workflows | |
| The ability to perform loops (While, ForEach, For) on actions and workflows. | |
| The ability to automate rollback and recovery processes. Read more about this feature |
|
| The capacity to control and select parallel or serial executions between multiple servers. | |
| The ability to execute real-time, synchronized executions across application environments. Read more about this feature |
|
| Application Parameters | |
| Various application parameters which include: String, Password, Boolean, File, Predefined Options, General, Numbers, Integer, Long, Double, Float, Arrays, String Array, Boolean Array, Integer Array, Long Array, Double Array, Float Array. | |
| The capacity to store and share parameters per application, application component and environment. | |
| The ability to define application parameter expressions. | |
| Supported Platforms | |
| Built-in support for WebSphere | |
| Built-in support for WebLogic | |
| Built-in support for WMWare | |
| Built-in support for ILS | |
| Built-in support for IIS7 | |
| Built-in support for Amazon EC2 | |
| Built-in support for Linux/Unix | |
| Built-in support for Windows | |

| Workflow testing, conflict management and versioning. Read more about this feature |
|
| Display Screens | |
| A clear display of all the application data-models. | |
| A single view clearly showing the application environments (Dev, QA, Ops). | |
| A single view clearly displaying the workflows across application tiers. | |
| A clear view of all application workflows displaying all available workflows per application. | |
| Reporting & Compliance | |
| An interactive dashboard for full release visibility and audit trails. View an example of the dashboard screen here |
|
| Out-of-the-box reports of all application release operations (who, what, where) | |
| Reporting and auditing of application release to meet any compliance or regulatory requirements (eg, SOX, PCI, HIPAA) while cutting audit cycles | |
| Roll-based permissions to control design and execution authorization across application team members. | |
Powerful Application Release Deployment Designer
Application teams from across Development, QA and IT Operations are empowered to design the most powerful release tasks, regardless of their programming skills. Features include:
- Drag-and-Drop modeling of application service workflows, enabling the visual creation of multi-step, multi-tier processes, including dependencies and "if-then" rules.
- The ability to create flexible application release workflows based on logical operations, independently of server environments.
- Robust, built-in application deployment libraries and components including out-of-the-box actions, configurations, flows, installations, checks and verifications.
- Support of common application release processes - deployment, troubleshooting, maintenance, rollback, auditing.
RollBack & Recovery
- Automation of rollback processes in case of error, back out application service changes for service continuity.
- Immediate insight into application configurations across tiers, environments and servers for swift identification and remediation of errors.
- Seamless integration of 3rd party monitoring and incident management tools.
Real-time Release Execution Across Application Environments
Real-time, synchronized execution of application releases across distributed, heterogeneous data center environments, alerts, and roll-back procedures for centralized control over application changes everywhere, all at once.
- Real-time control of active release processes, across tiers and development, QA and production environments
- Centralized, coordinated management of deployment across distributed physical, virtual and cloud environments.
- Seamless integration of 3rd party monitoring and incident management tools.
Workflow Testing, Conflict Management, and Versioning
Consolidate application service "know-how" into a single repository, eliminating conflicts and enabling version management for workflows (including near-same processes).
