Synchronize code and data

Dependencies between diverse applications and DBMS? Ensure the integrity of both your software AND database upgrades.

Define environments across any number of heterogeneous infrastructure items, on premise, multi-platform and multi-cloud. DROPS supports agent-based or agentless operation.

Model your deployment process graphically, and draw dependencies in a single click. For more complex deployments, choose from a library of 250+ customizable scripts. .. Users can also design deployment processes externally ‘as code’. This new feature is called Deployment Process As Code.

In sync with your application deployment, automate the upgrades and rollback for all your databases, SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 for I, PostgreSQL and more.

Strengths Multi-System Picto

Multiplatform

Deploy and control your applications on Windows, Linux, UNIX, IBM i, AIX, z/OS, and in the Cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IBM Cloud).

Applications combine both legacy and modern technologies, running on diverse platforms with complex dependencies to manage during deployment. Centralize control of all your applications—whether legacy, cloud, backend, microservices, or front-end. Compatible with all systems and databases.

Agentless Picto

Agent-based or agentless

DROPS adapts to your configuration and automatically provisions agents when needed.

Agent installation and management are automated, giving you greater simplicity, security, and flexibility. Depending on your security requirements, choose between an agentless mode—using standard protocols such as SSH, JT400, or WinRM—or an agent-based mode via HTTP/HTTPS.

Codeless Picto

Codeless

Manage your deployments from an intuitive web console. Streamline collaboration between technical and operational teams.

Organize your deployments with drag-and-drop and manage all your artifacts from a single process. Create or use ready-to-use templates for gradual deployments or urgent hotfixes. A reproducible and proven process that reduces deployment effort by an average of threefold.

picto Library script

Script library

Access over 250 ready-to-use deployment scripts. Customize or duplicate them to fit your needs.

Automate your routine tasks: run system commands, copy files, restart services, execute SQL scripts, or deploy REST applications. Integrate your third-party tools (Jira, Docker, Ansible, Chef, Puppet…) and run tasks in languages such as Python or Ruby.

Multi-script

Multi-Script language

Add scripts in the language of your choice: Ansible, YAML, JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Groovy, and more. Leverage your existing scripts or create new ones.

For every action before, during, or after a deployment:

  • Use ready-to-use scripts
  • Create your own scripts
  • Reuse your existing scripts

Each script is fully customizable to fit your context. DROPS also provides version tracking and change history, ensuring compliance and full traceability for your audits.
