WSM International is launching a DevOps services division that offers assessment, consulting and implementation to large enterprises and organizations with complex infrastructures.
“As we help customers with migration projects, it seems inevitable that leads to discussions and work related to DevOps,” said Ryan Pelerin, founding partner and COO, WSM. “It turns out that migrations are an ideal time to be considering and readying for DevOps since we are already transitioning IT infrastructure and that is the natural next step.”
WSM will focus on delivering the main benefit of DevOps, which is cost savings. For example, at a recent customer deployment, the total number of servers was reduced from 200 to 60 by using clustering technology and redesigning the application and data base software structure. Now, with auto scaling based on traffic loads, resources can be allocated specifically for peak load times while conserving resources at other times.
Certified WSM engineers are proficient in a variety of DevOps tools – including Puppet, Chef and SaltStack – that can be applied to the customer’s specific needs. Using these tools enables organizations to automate how they build, deploy and manage their infrastructure. The result is a more flexible, agile IT infrastructure that accommodates business needs.
The WSM DevOps practice provides customers with benefits, such as:
- Accountability so that software is fully tested before being put into production;
- Security with full access controls so that only specific individuals can make certain changes;
- Ongoing support and training of customer’s staff, as needed.
