Nolio Release Automation Scalability

Akhilesh B N - PeerSpot reviewer
DevOps Delivery Engineer at Barclays Capital

We have a substantial number of users, roughly around 13,000 to 15,000 end users. So, we're operating on an enterprise scale.

So, scaling is easy. Once you get familiar with the tool and get some basic information about it, it becomes easy to scale.

It’s not scalable; we can never deploy this in an HA environment. We think they have to reprogram the core of the system, but it depends on which environment you’re using the solution in. If you’re using the solution in a less intensive, small business it could be more usable.

Extremely scalable, that's one of the main reasons why we bought it. It's extremely scalable. We've been able to scale up from probably 100 or so automations to where we're doing 700 now, per release. It's been a very powerful tool. Broad set of technologies as well.

Scalability is a good question. We started with one application automation. Now, we automate around 400 applications. We installed close to 2,000 agents.

Scalability was never an issue with this product. However, my experience with the product is limited to having up to 1000 target deployment servers registered on the tool. No redesign is expected as we continue to add servers after the initial PoC of a dozen servers.

We discovered that administrators can build application deployment processes in certain ways that will cause deployment agents to get hung if you attempt concurrent deployments to the same physical hosts. This has more to do with the learning curve on how to build the processes than the product itself.

We scaled it across our enterprise; we are using it across our entire enterprise.

We started using it for a couple of apps, i.e., somewhere between 40-45 applications; so it is quite good.

Scalability also got better over time. It was not scalable when we started with it. The product was designed primarily for small and medium scale organizations. I'm now seeing the product scaling up to large scale organizations. I'm sure they will improve this further down the road.

The scalability of the solution is very good. We haven't had any trouble when expanding the solution.

Right now, we have 15 users on it. Most are engineers or admins. They're handling the day to day department tasks.

It's pretty scalable, because you could just have multiple execution servers run. If you wanted to have more servers and agents deployed out than you currently have execution servers, you can add those on at any given time.

What we're looking at is a very small part. From some of the information at a recent CA conference, I can see where we can expand. We can expand into our test organization. We can expand into our further release organization. I think there's a lot of scalability.

Engineering Program Manager at EchoStar Corporation

Unlike a lot of the different CA Release Automation products, we actually are very unique in what we're doing. We're actually having to take the software and put into steps that allows us to stop the software automatically, send it out for approvals, get all the approvals signed and back to us, then continue the automation process.

The scalability allowed us to be able to do that. It also allowed us to be able to run multiple processes at the same time. Again, being able to look at our product and being able to target specific set-top boxes or groups of boxes.

The product seems to be incredibly stable. We currently fluctuate between 50 and 100 agents in our environment with no issue. I understand that there are companies utilizing 1000 - to 1500 agents. The architecture is easily scaled to accommodate high quantities of agents spanning multiple physical locations.

It is possible to have a lot of execution servers, but you can’t put them in a balanced pool of servers. In the majority of cases, agents will be used to reach one specific machine.

When executing a remote command, such as JDBC, it is ineffective to use only one specific server. This will be a single point of failure.

It can be scaled up to more than 2,000 action items. We are using about 400 actions as of now. However, due to the complex flow we use for internal company needs, we are actually doing more than a thousand.

Scalability is the one aspect we are completely sold on this particular product. All our various teams, at various stages, are going to start using Release Automation and we want to be able to manage all that scale. Also, we are geographically a very diversified company. We want certain hardware in certain areas and less hardware in the other areas. We can do that with the Release Automation.
