Platform Metaphor Platform
Operations and Management
One of the most compelling differences between Metaphor and other offerings is that Metaphor was designed from the ground up to maximize the productivity of operations. We recognized from the on-set that the ability for business and IT to make a change is only as good as the organization’s ability to and deploy and manage it. Metaphor makes operations a first class user by focusing on all aspects of the critical operations behind your initiatives; scalability, deployment, staging, health and security.
Metaphor implementations are significantly easier to use, deploy and mange than other systems – easing the burden on operations personnel and lowering costs. Our implementations are massively scalable, support extraordinary transaction levels and are currently operating in highly secured PCI compliant organizations, transacting tens of millions of transactions per day.
The time to deploy changes with Metaphor is minimal and Metaphor’s operational architecture never requires taking systems off-line to perform routine updates or to deploy new initiatives, ensuring no disruptions to customers or in-flight transactions. Metaphor provides operations to necessary tools to move systems forward without having to ‘bounce’ the enterprise or schedule outages for ‘routine maintenance’.
Metaphor’s includes easy-to-use management tools significantly simplifies operations and reduces time to publication and associated costs. Our operational capabilities include:
- One-click deployment tools
- Facility based execution and containment
- Horizontal scalability
- Proactive SLA’s and alerting
- Integrated, real-time diagnostics
- Operational management dashboards
- Real-time service interaction and inspection
- Testing and stress tools
- Service containment and side by side versioning for both user code and our app frameworks
- Transparent updates without down time
- Easy to use promotion of code and apps through staging environments

For operations personnel, Metaphor provides a practical, one-stop-shop enterprise management workspace to accomplish all of their system management tasks while maximizing up-time and easing change. This means that operations staff can get up to speed on Metaphor in hours or days as opposed to weeks or months common with other systems – while immediately reducing cost, complexity and time.
