IncrediBuild,
the leading development acceleration solution provider, announced
today at Microsoft's //build/ conference that it is now a Microsoft
Azure Marketplace certified vendor. This new integration into the
Microsoft Azure platform dramatically impacts development speed in the
cloud.
As
a direct result, developers will be able to launch an IncrediBuild
Azure virtual machine, thus saving time on any prior configuration,
allowing them to seamlessly scale to hundreds of cores regardless of the
VM size limitation.
The
most noteworthy benefit for developers lies within harnessing the
compute power of Azure to significantly boost build performance.
Developers can work on a hybrid cloud environment and scale build
performance by adding compute power from Azure, especially at peak
times.
Alternatively,
they can design their development environment as a pure cloud
deployment over Azure and use IncrediBuild's distributed processing
solution to turn their VM network into one hive super-computer with
immense build and compilation speed capabilities.
In
the past, companies had to invest in more PC's in order to gain
additional cores to their IncrediBuild network, but with Azure
interoperation they can just assign virtual machines as agents at peak
times and earn valuable resources at a considerable lower cost than
buying actual computers.
"IncrediBuild
adds yet another layer of scalability to Visual Studio enabling
developers to scale their applications to the cloud." - Mitra Azizirad,
General Manager, Cloud Application Development & Data, Microsoft
Corp.
"Our
strategic relationship with Microsoft Azure means a fast, scalable,
no-hassle solution that saves developers time and money in more ways
than one," says IncrediBuild CEO, Eyal Maor.
"Instead of allocating 10 stand-alone VM's with 8 cores each, why not
turn them into an 80 core super-machine that will set your builds into
hyper speed, even if it's only for a day or a week?" "Your CI cycles can
be reduced by as much as 80% and your time to market significantly
expedited", Maor concludes.
