Case Study: Novadex achieves automated, one-click clustered deployments and continuous delivery with Rogue Wave Software (Zend Server)

Novadex Masters Release Automation with Zend Server

Novadex GmbBH, provider of the LetterMaschine SaaS for cross‑media customer communications, was struggling with slow, manual deployments to server clusters and risky, time‑consuming rollbacks. To automate and simplify their release process they worked with Rogue Wave Software (leveraging Zend Server and Jenkins) to eliminate error‑prone manual steps and make cluster deployments manageable.

Rogue Wave Software implemented Zend Server with Jenkins to automate packaging, VM cloning and cluster updates, add centralized logging, and enable one‑click redeploys to affected nodes. The change cut multi‑server deployment effort from about three hours of manual work to a fast, button‑click process, removed painful rollback scenarios, and let less experienced staff perform reliable releases—supporting Novadex’s move to continuous delivery.
