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."
