Powerful Versioning for Your SaaS Operations
Successful SaaS deployments are not "deploy once and forget" applications. As a SaaS company, you will more than likely upgrade and change your application over time (even as often as once a week) to provide your customers with new value, keeping you ahead of the competition. SaaSGrid manages all application deployments through a version promotion process, giving you an easy to use patching engine to apply patches for small upgrades and bug fixes or even supply entire replacement releases. You can issue updates to your application as regularly as you would like and have the peace of mind knowing that SaaSGrid has coordinated network resource allocations, migration of customer data, and migration of subscriptions.
SaaSGrid gives you the ability to upload patches through SaaSGrid's patching engine or upload entire new application images all through web based interfaces. SaaS release management becomes as easy as clicking a few buttons and deciding when to deploy. At any given time, you may have a specific version of your SaaS offering as the production release, with any number of other versions running in parallel in SaaSGrid's testing sandbox. Once you've confirmed a new version through testing, you can promote that new version to production, replacing the current version. SaaSGrid invokes migration workflows to ensure everything is running as expected once the new version promotion is complete.
All lifecycle management functionality in SaaSGrid is controlled with security checkpoints, allowing you to designate which roles are authorized to promote and demote versions and manage various other lifecycle processes.
