Executive Brief: ServiceMesh Agility Platform
What is the Agility Platform?
The Agility Platform is an enterprise-‐grade cloud management platform for implementing DevOps and on-‐demand, self-‐service IT operating models within large enterprises. Customers select the Agility Platform to automate the deployment and management of enterprise applications and platforms across private, public and hybrid clouds. The Agility Platform provides a single, integrated control point for governance, compliance and security across the customer’s cloud applications and environments, empowering development teams with fully governed, self-‐service access to the applications, platforms, and services they need. This enables central IT to transform its role into a hybrid cloud service broker, and allows development and IT operations teams to increase the speed and frequency of software releases without sacrificing the quality of software in production.
How do customers use the Agility Platform?
The Agility Platform allows IT to meet increasing demands to bring new business functionality to market faster, as well as provide on-‐demand access to globally competitive IT services based on cost, features, and service levels. Agility Platform allows IT to deliver portfolios of on-‐demand IT services directly to the business and application teams with a fully governed and automated self-‐service model that minimizes or eliminates manual IT approvals and delays. This includes enabling DevOps initiatives through delivery of on-‐demand development platforms, embedding standard operating environments upstream for earlier Dev and Test use, automating software promotion and release, and managing security and operational SLAs across stages of the SDLC.
For Development Teams • Perform your dev and test work on high fidelity, production-‐like environments that are available self-‐service and on-‐demand. No longer worry about configuring application stacks and administering underlying infrastructure and platforms, so you can spend more time coding and less time on non-‐productive tasks.
For Operations Teams • Use policies to govern the usage of standardized application platforms and environments. Leverage fine-‐grain governance and security controls to take full advantage of your organization’s private, public, and hybrid cloud strategy, and to eliminate configuration mis-‐matches and errors from ever making it into production.

What are key Agility Platform differentiators? Agility Platform allows enterprises to establish cloud vendor contestability, and simplifies the operational complexities of DevOps and hybrid cloud management. The Agility Platform also places a heavy emphasis on policy-‐based governance and security, not just for risk mitigation but also as an enabler for end-‐to-‐end, fully automated self service IT models. Key differentiators include:
• Cloud-‐portable application blueprints. Agility Platform’s application blueprints are infrastructure independent, and automate the orchestration and deployment of complex, multi-‐tier platforms and apps. Blueprints help automate enforcement of governance and security standards across SDLC stages.
• Policy-‐based, extensible cloud governance. Agility Platform provides a broad range of application-‐centric policy controls that can be rapidly enforced across SDLC stages and hierarchical organizational models. The declarative policy engine is based on an extensible meta-‐model, enabling the rapid creation and enforcement of new policies and policy types.
• Application Release Automation. Agility Platform’s Release Manager is a visual dashboard to promote application code and complete deployment environments across SDLC stages for software release automation. Release Manager provides an end-‐to-‐end view of the release pipeline, integrates into existing SDLC tool chains, and provides customizable approval processes and quality gates.

“We’ve gone from spending 50% of our operating budget on infrastructure to just 26%. A nearly 75% investment in apps and information rather than infrastructure – that’s huge.”
