IT is under pressure to reduce cost, improve responsiveness and accelerate change.

rPath is model-driven system automation and control for enterprise IT, ISVs and on-demand service providers. rPath uniquely provides full lifecycle management of software components, configured systems and orchestrated business services for rapid provisioning, conflict-free change, and consistent and compliant IT systems.

rPath models and manages the entire software stack, from the application through the OS; and back through the software supply chain, from the deployed system to the source of software content and change. The result is a low-overhead solution for consistency and control in software systems construction, deployment and change across physical, virtual and cloud-based environments.

rPath is based on a version-controlled repository that acts as a definitive software library for controlled reuse of application, OS, middleware and other system artifacts across development, test and production organizations. From this repository, rPath automates four key functions:

1. Automated generation of images for rapid deployment to physical, virtual or cloud
2. Automated updates and rollbacks
3. Compliance reporting and remediation
4. Controlled lifecycle promotion

With rPath, today's enterprises can:

Accelerate IT — reducing deployment cycles from weeks to minutes
Reduce cost — improving system-to-admin ratio by 6-10X
Mitigate risk — for auditable and compliant software systems
