10 Vendors Making Strides In DevOps

In recent years, a number of vendors have begun slapping the "DevOps" label on their products in an attempt to increase sales. It's a move that makes sense because a growing number of enterprise IT organizations are embracing DevOps practices like increased collaboration, continuous delivery and automation. IDC predicts that DevOps will continue to mature so that by 2018, more than 60% of new apps will use "cloud-enabled continuous delivery and cloud-native application architectures to enable faster innovation and business agility."

As organizations increasingly use DevOps to increase their rate of application development and deployment, the market for DevOps tools is expected to grow substantially. According to market research from Technavio, the global market for DevOps solutions will grow at 19% per year (CAGR) through 2020.

But which vendors are truly helping companies embrace DevOps and which are just trying to jump on the DevOps bandwagon?

This slideshow takes a look at 10 vendors making strides in DevOps support. Listed in alphabetical order, they range from small, young startups to large, well-established companies. Some offer open source solutions while others sell proprietary technology. Many of these vendors have rolled out new products or won significant accolades this year.
