RALEIGH, N.C. — July 20, 2010 — rPath, an innovator in automating system deployment and maintenance, today announced its latest video, “rPath 6.0: The Future of IT.” With a running time of just over a minute, the video offers viewers a glimpse into the future of software system automation with a functional overview of rPath’s current system automation solution and upcoming enhancements that further refine and simplify the delivery of business services for enterprise IT. “rPath 6.0: The Future of IT” is available online at http://bit.ly/c4hb9G.
“This video paints the picture of what rPath does for IT today and what we’ll do next,” said Jake Sorofman, chief marketing officer for rPath. “rPath fully models and automates software systems—from the business service through the OS and back through the software supply chain. With rPath 6.0, we’ll fully abstract this process to simple visual metaphors and drag-and-drop gestures. rPath 6.0 will represent the deepest system automation available, made suitable for adoption by any IT organization, regardless of size or sophistication.”
rPath 6.0 and the Future of IT
The video opens with a clean, visual description of rPath’s core functionality as an integrated IT supply chain for modeling and managing software stacks, from the business service through the operating system and back to the source of software content and change. Conceptually, viewers see how rPath provides IT organizations with automation and control for any software system, running on any platform, deployed to any physical, virtual or cloud environment.
The video then transitions to the rPath 6.0 future, revealing a GUI-based command-and-control center that lets users construct, deploy and repair multi-tier business services with the click of a button and the drag of an object.
Sorofman said, “At the lowest level, rPath deals with complexity and change with model-driven, version-controlled automation. With rPath 6.0, we represent that low-level functionality in a way that people can understand and act on, even if they’re not highly technical. This is the future of system automation—completely visual, drag-and-drop and object-oriented—and it makes the most complex IT tasks extremely intuitive, visual and easy to perform for users of all levels.”
