What is BRE
BRE - Mission
• As a centralized support organization we will constantly strive to meet or exceed our customers’ needs and expectations for building and releasing their software products.
BRE
BRE is a lot like Air Traffic Controllers. We don’t get a ton of attention and we are mostly behind the scenes but without us products would never get off the ground, just like the air traffic controllers do for planes.
BRE
• BRE likes an ribbon(bridge) which connects DEV, QA and Installer Eng. BRE makes software build and release automatically and smoothly.

MDS – Master Dispatching System • Distribute products faster, cheaper and more reliably• Master Dispatching System consists in 4 Rsync server (Sun
T5120 running Solaris OS). The build machines will usually connect to the closest rsync server for best performance but any server can accept from any build machine so this provides extra robustness to the service in case a server goes down (never happened yet). Once posted, the master is dispatched to the other rsync servers. Data is not stored on rsync server – rsync does the dispatching only. Data is stored on robust NetApp appliances.
Suites Process
Perforce Consolidation and Administartion
3rd party component centralization
• Establish centralized storage and standard processes to efficiently manage 3rd party components used in all product offerings
