ControlTier is a complete system for automating
the build, release, deployment, and configuration
of multi-tier application services. It enables you
to specify a configuration and procedural model
for an integrated application stack (e.g. a LAMP
stack), and then use that model to build, package,
deploy, configure, and control that stack as one
logical entity into any environment. It includes
remote execution and logical command dispatching,
automation, versioning and full rollback
capabilities, logging and reporting, fine grained
access controls, change detection and
configuration validation, application status
discovery, log monitors to catch startup
exceptions, and GUI and command line tools.
