Each product in the HCL Software portfolio has been packaged in containers, with UIs and dashboards, wrapped as Helm charts. &#8220;SoFy is the platform that brings the portfolio together as services,&#8221; she said. &#8220;Each item in the [HCL Software] catalog is already a Helm chart, with pre-reqs all wrapped up with configuration so they run out of the box.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because this is based on native Kubernetes, it is cloud-agnostic, providing flexibility for customers to run the software without cloud vendor lock-in, she explained.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SoFy allows customers to look at what&#8217;s available and create their own solution packages; those packages can be deployed to a sandbox and include demos and step-by-step instructions for use, Mulholland noted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HCL Now, the service offering, lets users run the HCL software wherever they want to run it, with access to log files, containers, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HCL SoFy, which encompasses 26 of the company&#8217;s products, is available as a 30-day trial, through a one-click install that can be up and running in an hour. Mulholland also pointed out that cloud-native software also helps customers overcome the pain points of version upgrades, as it&#8217;s all done behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HCL Software has made its DevOps product portfolio cloud-ready, and has introduced HCL SoFy, a cloud-native platform for creating tool solutions, and HCL Now, a cloud-native-as-a-service offering.
