Progress Sonic products enable the integration and flexible re-use of business applications within a large, physically distributed service-oriented architecture (SOA). SDM extends the distributed capabilities of the Sonic products to help enterprises streamline incremental development and rollout of large-scale SOA deployments, while keeping costs low.
A key benefit of Sonic Deployment Manager (SDM) is its ability to allow enterprises to model all aspects of a Sonic product deployment, independent of physical deployment details, and to test production environments prior to roll-out. Additionally, by automating consistent and repeatable installations and configurations, SDM reduces the time to deploy at a remote site from days to minutes, even at remote sites with no IT staff. Components of both Progress Sonic ESB and Progress SonicMQ (the enterprise messaging infrastructure that underpins Sonic ESB are managed with SDM, including brokers, clusters, container and services.
