Electric cloud the private development cloud company

Electric Cloud, Inc. is a privately held, DevOps optimization software company based in San Jose. The company provides DevOps Release Automation (DORA) solutions that simplify and accelerate the delivery of software updates to end-users. Their tools transform software release from a chore to a competitive advantage.

In 2014, Electric Cloud partnered with well-known author and DevOps specialist Gene Kim to co-found the DevOps Enterprise Summit. The conferenced focuses on agile, continuous delivery, and DevOps transformations within enterprise companies. In its first year, the conference was a sell out, with many large players in the space speaking, exhibiting, or attending. In 2015, the DevOps Enterprise Summit again sold out with double the audience of 2014.

The 2016 event was held in San Francisco, CA November 7–9.

History

Electric Cloud was founded in April 29, 2002 by John Ousterhout, the creator of Tcl, and John Graham-Cumming. It released its flagship product, ElectricAccelerator, in November 2002.

On November 6, 2006, ElectricCommander was released. It was initially targeted at development use cases. In June 2014, ElectricCommander became the foundation for a new suite of continuous delivery solutions called ElectricFlow.

Between September 2013 and April 2014, Electric Cloud raised $12 million in Series E funding from Siemens Venture Capital, US Venture Partners, Mayfield Fund, RRE Ventures and Rembrandt Venture Partners. In April 2015, Electric Cloud was featured as a ‘strong performer’ in the 2015 Forrester Application Release Automation Wave Report.

Products

ElectricAccelerator accelerates software CI cycles (“builds and tests”) by safely parallelizing them across shared clusters of physical or cloud CPU’s.

ElectricFlow is an enterprise-grade DevOps Release Automation platform that enables provisioning, build and release of multi-tiered applications. The model-driven approach to managing environments and applications enables teams to coordinate multiple pipelines and releases across hybrid infrastructure in a predictable and auditable way.

ElectricFlow Release transforms poorly managed processes into coordinated release events. It provides a unified view of both Traditional and CD-style pipelines and releases to increase transparency and predictability.

ElectricDeploy Automates and standardizes application deployments by modeling applications, their related environments, and the processes that deploy and recover applications.

Users

Electric Cloud products have been adopted by a number of enterprise clients including General Motors, Qualcomm, Quicken Loans, Intel, E*Trade, CenturyLink, HP, Lego, Cisco, Bose, Dolby, Sony, Shell Oil, Epic Games, Splunk, and SpaceX.
