CruiseControl Enterprise is live

Today marks a very exciting occasion: the launch of CruiseControl Enterprise.

For over six years, CruiseControl has been a true labor of love for me and hundreds of other contributors to the open source project. And now, CruiseControl Enterprise is ready for release. Over the next two weeks, we will be putting the finishing touches on a new and improved reporting and management application that will be released to open source. We have also released a CruiseControl Enterprise website, and have started the process of supporting our first 24 x 7 CruiseControl customers. Last but not least, we have also crystallized ThoughtWorks' approach to Continuous Integration consulting services.

I am very excited about the ability for CruiseControl Enterprise to advance the state of Continuous Integration. I am excited about our continuing, mutually beneficial relationship with the hundreds of people who have made the CruiseControl open source project the market leader. I am also overjoyed to be working with such an amazing group of dedicated professionals - both inside ThoughtWorks and in the open source community.

So, I proudly announce...CruiseControl Enterprise.

Very interesting. How does it stand in contrast to Capistrano? Wondering about the pricing of this thing.

Interesting question about Capistrano. Capistrano, or another tool like it, might be used as part of an Enterprise CruiseControl installation to manage deployments. Capistrano doesn't cover the other aspects of Continuous Integration. So, I see it more like an integral tool, almost like Ant, Nant, Rake or Maven.

As far as pricing goes, CruiseControl Enterprise comprises software, support and consulting services.

So far, everything that the CCE team has built has been contributed to the open source community because we believe strongly in open source development and the community that has helped make CruiseControl what it is today. We will be targeting enterprise features that will be distributed as proprietary extensions to CruiseControl. Pricing for those features has yet to be determined.

Support, as commented in the InfoQ article (http://www.infoq.com/news/2007/05/cruise-control-enterprise) starts at $15,000 USD for a pack of 5 incidents. If your enterprise has support needs lesser or greater, then we would work with you to define an appropriate support agreement.

Services, are priced based on the type of consulting required. ThoughtWorks works closely with potential clients to determine what they need before determining pricing. If you are interested in any of these services, please don't hesitate to register your interest on the CruiseControl Enterprise website (http://studios.thoughtworks.com/cruisecontrol/purchase) and one of our sales people will be in touch.

Actually, the new dashboard has been committed to the CruiseControl open source repository already. A release candidate for the upcoming 2.7 release was posted on Saturday, June 2. You can download it from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=23523. The release will probably be sometime in the next week, depending on feedback on the release candidate. -- PJ
