JFrog Drives DevOps Fast-Forward, Unveils New Software Distribution Capabilities to Handle Rising Volume and Frequency of Edge UpdatesSUNNYVALE, Calif., June 24, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- JFrog swampUP Conference -- JFrog, the Universal DevOps technology leader known for enabling liquid software via continuous update flows, has unveiled new capabilities to address the growing problem of software distribution bottlenecks. The newly introduced CDN-based and Peer-to-Peer software package distribution mechanisms empower companies to overcome the challenge of frequently delivering large volumes of artifacts to internal teams and external clients. The announcements took place at JFrog’s annual swampUP user conference. The explosion of both hybrid and edge infrastructure, and the increased adoption of cloud-native apps that rely on compounded artifacts can create a “firehose” distribution problem, increasingly clogging networks with a stream of software updates. Distribution challenges will continue to grow, with IDC predicting there will be more than 520 million brand new digital apps and services added by 2024.1 Peer-to-Peer and Cloud-Based Distribution Enable Digital-First Economy JFrog has also delivered a new CDN-based package distribution function that solves the challenge of distributing software to large communities of external users or partners. This mechanism works in cases where companies need a simple, SaaS-managed solution to enable external downloads, such as distributing software that can be downloaded by anyone including drivers, plugins, and commercial software products, or updates for partners and users. “DevOps in a digital-first economy demands the need for speed and security throughout the entire software release cycle all the way to the edge. We provided our comunity with the first purely hybrid, end-to-end DevOps and DevSecOps platform, and now we’re extending all the way to EdgeOps,” said Shlomi Ben Haim, co-founder and CEO of JFrog. “Major enterprises are facing a clear challenge in distributing packages quickly and fearlessly across their organizations, as well as to clients and partners. The DevOps revolution will not be completed without providing a comprehensive, powerful binary distribution mechanism; this is our commitment to developers, and it is developers’ responsibility to their organizations.” New Upgrades Streamline Pipeline Assembly and Build Testing “As the world continues to move towards massive delivery of software, the ‘BinOps’ path of managing your software releases becomes more critical than ever,” said Yoav Landman, CTO and co-founder of JFrog. “Shifting binaries to the left and using immutable release binaries as early as possible in the software delivery pipeline is the only way to achieve robust, trusted and secure releases and maintain stable metadata that relates to these releases. We are proud to lead the way of BinOps with the JFrog Platform.” The First Free, Security-Focused Central Repository of Helm Charts Is Now Available for the Community JFrog’s swampUP conference is completely digital and currently taking place in the Americas, with the event in EMEA and APAC regions taking place June 30 and July 1. _________________________________ About JFrog Contact: A photo accompanying this announcement is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/8a4b437a-dde6-41d8-b499-9111595852d2 |
