Accelerate development & testing
The latest offering from 1E, SystemForge® is the result of 10 years experience in deploying automation using Microsoft® technologies, and our own in-house requirements to rapidly provision, change and replicate application development & test environments. SystemForge accelerates the provision of development & test environments to help organizations achieve IT and business objectives.

Increase consistency
SystemForge speeds up the deployment and provisioning of complex collections of servers. Typically these servers will be used in software development & testing environments or to provide a particular business service.

The solution manages the dependencies between hundreds of servers and thousands of fully parameterized install and configuration steps. With the ability to increase consistency and dramatically reduce costs and time-scales across many concurrent development projects, SystemForge is ideally suited for application development & testing facilities, business services, Internet services, data centers, etc.

Fast, simple & intuitive
The SystemForge user interface enables the automated design, install and configuration of a sequence of tasks required to build a collection of servers or target machines. The SystemForge console is quick and easy to use. The included SystemForge Management Pack for Microsoft Operations Manager provides centralized monitoring, reporting and access to historical data. SystemForge enables you to replace out-dated build documentation and stacks of CDs with Tasks, Playlists, Tagging and Parameters.

Key features

•	Leverages virtualization and provides more infrastructure from existing hardware
•	Automates installation of in-house written software which traditionally requires many separate time consuming error prone installation and configuration steps
•	Fits with other ‘off the shelf’ applications aimed at improving Develpoment and Test processes
•	Makes building multi-server environments an operational task which can be initiated by one person in minutes and takes ‘a few hours’ rather than days to complete with zero intervention
•	Provisions and builds complex environments from clean server builds, as well as easing the problems of orchestrating complex install and configuration tasks (including reboots) across existing servers which are dependent on each other

Leverages virtualization
With SystemForge there is no distinction between physical and virtual machines - it handles both identically. SystemForge automates the creation of virtual machines, empowering developers to create replica test environments on their own workstation.
