Atlassian, WANdisco Partner to Provide Cost Effective High Availability and Scalability for JIRA

OEM agreement signed for JIRA clustering and JIRA MultiSite.

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2007 -- Atlassian and WANdisco announced today an OEM agreement for a new solution that offers high availability and scalability of Atlassian JIRA. The partnership underscores JIRA's capabilities as a platform for building new products and capabilities.

The new solution, WANdisco's JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering, combines Atlassian JIRA, the professional issue tracker, with WANdisco's 'active-active' replication capabilities. These capabilities support clustering over a WAN or LAN, providing automated system failover and self-healing disaster recovery that eliminates the need for either administrator intervention or costly third party disk mirroring solutions.

JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering also give development teams and IT organizations LAN-speed performance with 'always current' visibility into individual issues and overall project status across all of their work sites while eliminating the 'single point of failure' issue left unaddressed by common application clustering solutions. As a result, issues are submitted and addressed in a timely manner, rework of coding and QA are minimized and code is properly safeguarded at all times. All of this adds up to tremendous time and costs savings for IT departments and software development teams.

"Atlassian JIRA is one of the most-respected and successful issue trackers on the market today," said David Richards, President and CEO of WANdisco. "When combined with WANdisco's technology, JIRA not only becomes massively scalable and reliable, but provides the essential components for a complete application lifecycle management solution stack."

JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering are sold exclusively by WANdisco through an OEM arrangement with Atlassian. JIRA MultiSite and JIRA Clustering can be implemented standalone or in conjunction with WANdisco's solutions for Subversion and CVS.

"We're excited to have found a great partner in WANdisco for helping our customers scale JIRA to

the next level," said Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian CEO and co-founder. "These products are very promising for providing JIRA users with unique features to address the challenges of globally distributed development and enhance reliability and scaling."
