All companies, large and small, manage multiple environments for the purpose of development, testing, or hosting production solutions. Each of these environments comprise a number of platforms, technologies, and packaged applications across a varying number of servers (whether physical, virtual, or in the cloud). The centralized FlexDeploy server requires configuration information to be able to communicate across this broad topology.

FlexDeploy allows customers to describe their topology using Environments, Target Groups, andEndpoints. This topology definition provides the necessary mechanics for configuring Endpoints and properties to effectively manage your enterprise network of platforms, technologies, applications and servers. Builds, Deployments, Utility Executions, and Test Executions are run on Targets, the intersection of an environment and Target Group.
