Deployment Options


On-Site SaaS

In addition to myCampus's SaaS offerings, we provide production-ready installation options for enterprises that desire to deploy myCampus onsite. The myCampus downloads leverage the experience and robustness gained from myCampus delivering its SaaS offering for over 7 years. myCampus's onsite deployment provides many of the same benefits of myCampus's SaaS offering, including stability, short deployment times, low operating expense, and rapid upgrades, but it also gives you the control and security measures that your business requires. Use the ALM platform to get started on your distributed software development activities in minutes, rather than extending resources and time building, maintaining, and installing your own on-premise tools.

myCampus offers two onsite deployment options, depending upon the size, scope and platform need of your project team:

  • VMware® cross-platform virtual appliance download
  • Red Hat® and CentOS® native Linux download

myCampus Virtual Appliance

The quickest way to get your myCampus deployment up and running is by installing the myCampus virtual appliance on your desktop or in your data center. Simply execute the installation package, and get started within minutes. You will not require lengthy server setup or time to build out a server application stack as myCampus's virtual appliance package is a simple download that utilizes VMware® and leverages the quality of myCampus's SaaS deployment model. There is also a recurring upgrade download based on the same technology that enables turnkey movement to new releases of myCampus as they become available.

The virtual appliance is made up of a complete, self-contained operating system, database, application server, and the full suite of myCampus capabilities that all install without modification. The appliance also comes with the additional benefit of predefined and pre-populated projects so that you can see real examples of the myCampus suite including project content management, defect tracking and software configuration management. The myCampus virtual appliance is perfect for small or medium size teams of up to around 50 users and/or for teams using the popular Windows platform.

myCampus Native Linux Download

To optimize your team's experience and scale, this installation package allows you install the myCampus application in your native Linux environment. In addition to providing a more scalable and higher performance runtime experience the native install allows you to 'bring your own stack' of operating system, database, and services server distribution within the constraints of the installation guidelines. Installation accuracy and speed is enhanced with intelligent dependency management technology that can detect and resolve conflicts between your installed infrastructure packages and the packages required for a successful installation of myCampus.

Installing the native Linux myCampus downloads on your local server or in your data center is a straightforward process. IT administrators are able to install the native download on a local server or in your data center in 1-2 hours with little assistance. If help is required, myCampus offers both Community support and forums as well as expert consulting installation services to get you started. There is also a recurring upgrade download based on the same technology that enables turnkey movement to new releases of myCampus as they become available.

The native deployment of myCampus extends the myCampus virtual deployment from a capabilities perspective and further enables teams to customize their application lifecycle development process. These extra capabilities include:

  • Virtually unlimited user community sizes
  • Site customization (the ability to tailor the site look and feel and the ability to build and deploy custom integrations to your myCampus installation)
  • Adds Clear Case, CVS, and Perforce support in addition to Subversion
