Interwoven of Los Altos, CA is now
shipping OpenDeploy, its solution for large-scale deployment of Web content.
It can be used either as a standalone deployment system or as one of the
components in the vendor’s TeamSite Web site production control system.
Speaking in support of the product, Mark Feldman, Director of Web
Development at GeoCities, said: “We can schedule deployments throughout
the day and night and know that a new edition of our web site will be
published without someone having to physically be there to do it. This allows
us to maintain a fresh, dynamic, and timely Web site in a much easier fashion
than we’ve relied on in the past.”
OpenDeploy manages deployment to any number of production servers from
multiple development servers. It is, says the vendor, an intelligent
solution that
“understands the dynamics of the production servers and the complete
development environment.” It supports an organization’s security policies by
encrypting content and specifying ports for secure transport over the
Internet.
One of OpenDeploy’s most useful features is the way in which it works with
Site Rollback (part of the TeamSite solution) to redeploy any archived version
of the web site from any point in its development. It can do this
automatically
and immediately, greatly reducing server maintenance costs.
An OpenDeploy license costs $4995 for each production server to which
web content is deployed. Users get one bundled license with TeamSite 1.7.
