Reduce software deployment time to just hours

Previously, every time a software update was deployed, Nguyen Hoai Nam, an engineer at a company in Hanoi , often had to spend weeks to do it. Not only was the time-consuming process problematic, but the process was also complicated and prone to errors due to the lack of synchronization between the development and operations teams.

Nam recounted that once, due to not detecting a development error early in the deployment phase, the system fell into a state of inactivity, causing great damage to the company. Not only Nam, but many software engineers have also encountered similar problems.

All the problems were solved when DevOps Sphere developed by Viettel Solutions officially came into practice. Simply put, DevOps Sphere is a solution to help manage the entire software development lifecycle.

Since implementing this product, Hoai Nam has been able to automate the deployment process in just a few hours.

According to the solution developer, compared to the traditional software development method, DevOps Sphere - Viettel Solutions solves the existing vulnerabilities in the software development process. While the traditional process focuses on large and long releases that are prone to risks and difficult to fix, Viettel DevOps Sphere prioritizes small, continuous and automated releases, helping businesses control more effectively and minimize risks. This advantage helps increase the speed of response to customer requests while reducing the time to fix errors.

DevOps also excels at making rapid data-driven decisions. This relies on automation and real-time analytics, whereas traditional software development suffers from poor reaction times and delayed reporting.

In particular, DevOps also has the feature of encouraging “fail early, recover fast”, creating a working environment of continuous improvement and optimization instead of perfection leading to stagnation in the traditional model. DevOps also focuses on the “flow” of work and activities that bring value, instead of just maximizing work at the lowest cost, ineffective as in the traditional method.

Another advantage of DevOps is that it allows for easier short-term planning and improved predictability with continuous releases, whereas in traditional environments, timeline management is often difficult due to long development cycles and overlap.

Finally, in traditional software development, work is considered done once it is delivered, leading to uncertainty about quality, while DevOps aims to produce the best possible outcome with high quality, with shared responsibility among all team members.

In summary, Viettel DevOps Sphere helps promote and create an Agile-style operation process (simultaneous development and testing) in the enterprise, instead of the traditional Waterfall style (sequential development in stages).

According to Viettel Solutions' product development team, Viettel DevOps Sphere is designed to meet the most stringent requirements for security, performance and scalability. With the integration of the most modern DevOps tools and services, this product creates a solid foundation to help businesses achieve important performance indicators. For example, continuous deployment frequency on demand, minimum incident resolution time under 1 hour MTTR, change time not exceeding 1 hour and change failure rate under 5%.

Shaping the future of enterprise software development

In addition to the feature of “handling” vulnerabilities arising from traditional products, Viettel DevOps Sphere is evaluated by experts to have superior features compared to some products from major suppliers on the market. Compared with some products from foreign suppliers, Viettel DevOps Sphere integrates 3 outstanding points.

Firstly, Viettel DevOps Sphere fully integrates necessary features in a single platform. Meanwhile, foreign suppliers often require the integration of additional advanced features, increasing costs.

Second, Viettel DevOps Sphere provides source code security features such as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), Static Code Analyzer (SCA), Supply Chain Security, at the same price, ensuring source code safety. In contrast, products from foreign suppliers also have this security feature, but often require premium service packages or additional tool integration, resulting in higher costs.

Third, Viettel DevOps Sphere is superior with its Cloud development environment - DevSpace, allowing work from anywhere without installing complex software, creating high flexibility. Although foreign suppliers support many features on the Cloud, they do not provide a complete Cloud development environment similar to Viettel DevOps Sphere.

In fact, Viettel DevOps Sphere has strong development potential thanks to the integration of advanced DevOps tools in a single platform and a secure Cloud environment. With this product, businesses operating in many fields such as finance, software production, IT outsourcing, ... can completely increase their initiative in developing software to serve the management needs of the business or create software for business purposes.
