Introducing GitSwarm: Pure Git with Globally Scalable DevOps
The document introduces GitSwarm, a solution for scalable DevOps, highlighting Git's popularity and the challenges enterprises face with it, such as repository size and security concerns. It suggests that a hybrid version of Git management could improve collaboration while addressing these challenges. GitSwarm offers features like self-service repositories, permissions, and issue tracking to enhance productivity for distributed teams.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Hello everyone, and thank you for attending today’s webinar, “Introducing GitSwarm: Pure Git with Globally Scalable DevOps”.
- #3 My name is Charles McLouth, I’m the Sr. Director of Solutions Engineering here at Perforce. And I’m John Williston, Developer Evangelist at Perforce. Before we begin we wanted to cover a few housekeeping items. At the bottom of your audience console are a number of resources you can use. If you have any questions during the webcast, you can click on the “Q&A” widget at the bottom and submit your question. We will try to answer these at the end of the webcast, but if we run out of time we’ll answer your question via email. A copy of today’s slide deck as well as additional materials are available in the “resource list” at the bottom of your screen, and we’ll also send the slides from today’s webcast out in a follow-up email at the close of the webcast. In our webinar today, we’d like to introduce you to GitSwarm our Integrated Git Management Solution that we announced earlier this year. The entire webinar will be about 30 minutes with room for Questions at the end. We’ll begin with a short presentation followed by a pre-recorded demonstration.
- #4 John, tell us about users using Git. <john>
- #5 John
- #6 However may of the user benefits of git pose big challenges for the enterprise. These challenges range from the proliferation of git repositories, aka Git Sprawl Breaking projects apart for practical size limitations And raises security concerns as to who has access to what. But the biggest challenge is that encourages silos of data.
- #7 Silos are bad for DevOps, Dev Managers, and Security professionals. Silos require DevOps to stitch together many sources. Dev Managers lose sight of the development pipeline And security professionals pull their hair out because they have no idea who is accessing what.
- #8 Gartner Agrees with this sentiment. Distributed Version Control for Teams is more complex to manage for the Enterprise. A small reminder that we’ll be sending out a copy of this Garnter Report after the webinar. Or you can download it now from the Content Resources
- #9 DevOps, Dev Managers and Security Professionals like a “Single Source of Truth.” This facilitates a singular view for the Development or Deliver pipeline; Provides singular views feeding all automation. And Security can be managed and monitored from a single access point.
- #10 Gartner recognizes that both are required for efficiency and productivity The freedom and flexibility of DVCS And the security, control, scalability, and visibility of a Centralized Version Control System
- #11 What Gartner is advocating is something we really believe in as well: A hybrid version control model. <John> That’s right John. But with the power of a centralized system to support your DevOps teams and to help your security teams to sleep at night. And understanding this growing market need is what led to us developing our Helix Platform, which we announced earlier this year.
- #12 Perforce Helix provides hybrid workflows of DVCS and Centralized Version Control <John> But not at the expense of Enterprise productivity.
- #13 John
- #14 Our Secret Sauce allows users to work locally but Enterprises to scale Globally with DVCS and CVCS <John> All backed by the reliability, scalability, and security Perforce has long been known for.
- #15 Our Federated architecture has been a hallmark we’ve been known for. And this capability has been extended to GitSwarm such that many geographically disparate teams can work with local GitSwarm’s all contributing to Helix and it’s single source of truth
- #16 GitSwarm offers a lot for DevOps and the Enterprise at large. John, what’s in it for users? <john>
- #17 Our Demonstration today has been pre-recorded. It will start by giving us an overview and tour of GitSwarm. Then we’ll begin our example demonstration of the marriage between DevOps and Development. Where Developers only wish the source they need and DevOps requires access to all source, compiled results, and in our case our production application environment.
- #18 Our demonstration showed that you can both have the single source of truth that includes very large binary assets, singular views for automation and continuous delivery pipleline. <John> and as a developer I get a narrow clone of just the source that I need to be productive. <charlie> At this point, we have time to take questions from the audience. I’ll remind you that you can submit your questions using the Q and A panel and we’ll address them. If we don’t get a chance to answer your question we’ll follow up in email. <Q&A> This concludes our webinar today “Introducing GitSwarm: Pure Git with Globally Scalable DevOps”. We thank you for your attendance and wish you a good day.
