Where Nolio Sits in the Data Center
Nolio is focused on the application layer within the data center.
The Nolio platform bridges between operation teams and all users responsible for application release (including development, QA, staging and operation teams).
Nolio may be operated independently to automate application services, or may be seamlessly integrated with 3rd party application tools, including Release Management, QA, SCCM, CMDB, Ticketing/Help Desks, and Montioring, along with server infrastructure automation solutions and IT process orchestration solutions.
Nolio Application Environment Support
Nolio comes with a rich set of application-centric libraries to support application environments including WebSphere, MS Windows, .Net, IIS, XML, J2EE, JBoss, MySQL, WebLogic, Oracle, Amazon EC2, VMware, PHP, Ruby, Rackspace Cloud, and many others.
