Agile Hardware Adopting a heterogeneous computing approach

White Paper: Mobica

How do you maximise performance from both a hardware and software perspective with this approach?

Introduction

Built in the spirit of cooperation, DevOps has quickly become the gold standard methodology for the development of IT services. Its growth is based on its capacity to bring new products and features to market faster. Where organisations may have traditionally waited 3-6 months to release updates, organisations can now do this on a weekly or even daily basis.

This increased agility is allowing companies to react to customer needs and quickly seize a competitive advantage when the opportunity presents itself.

DevOps has made this possible by breaking down the barriers that have previously existed between development and operation teams and, in many cases, they still exist today. By adopting a more expansive view of the development process, and encouraging greater transparency and collaboration, DevOps removes an ‘us and them’ mentality that can hamper progress.

Instead of pitting teams against each other when problems occur, a DevOps philosophy encourages a unified approach – with teams working together towards the common goal of continuous development.

This approach has proved so successful in practice that organisations are now keen to expand the scope of DevOps to include their security and business teams. This has given birth to the unwieldy term, BizDevSecOps.

BizDevSecOps advocates for a holistic approach, with teams working together so security patches and product improvements can be deployed almost instantly. It is allowing business services to be updated with real time data, automatically – and enabling game changing decisions to be taken quickly, which is providing companies with a competitive advantage.

This approach will undoubtedly become the standard methodology for developing IT services going forward. With that in mind, we’ve produced the following guidance to help business, solution and security architects make the transition to a BizDevSecOps methodology – and assist those businesses seeking to become more agile and improve customer services.
