END-TO-END GITLAB SOLUTIONS FROM ITMETHODS
Accelerate DevOps & security with managed GitLab
COMMON DEVOPS & CODE MANAGEMENT ROADBLOCKS
Tackling key challenges for GitLab adoption
Overcome barriers to fully adopting GitLab by achieving seamless integration, enhanced security, and AI-driven improvements.
Cloud vs. single-tenant
For smaller teams, GitLab Cloud is sufficient, but large enterprises and regulated industries rely on single-tenant setups for compliance, governance, and custom workflows.
Continuous security & AI-advanced code
Without built-in scanning (SAST, DAST, Dependency Scanning, secret detection) and emerging AI features (like Code Suggestions), teams risk shipping unverified code or missing out on AI-driven productivity.
Integration & ongoing improvements
GitLab works with top DevOps tools, but concurrency scaling, AI-based code scanning, and advanced gating need specialize expertise to ensure compliance and performance.
WHY MANAGED GITLAB
Simplify DevOps and strengthen security—without the operational overhead
Running GitLab at an enterprise scale requires more than just out-of-the-box functionality. iTmethods provides a fully managed, high-performance environment—ensuring security, scalability, and operational efficiency.
Our approach leverages GitLab’s unified platform to enable:
- Scalable infrastructure – expand GitLab seamlessly with multi-region hosting, optimized CI/CD pipelines, and workload balancing.
- Reduced operational overhead – offload infrastructure maintenance, security updates, and resource management while ensuring uptime and performance.
- Seamless ecosystem integration – unify GitLab with your DevOps stack—integrating seamlessly with AI tools, security frameworks, and automation workflows.
- Proactive expertise & optimization – gain strategic guidance from a Dedicated Technical Account Manager (TAM) for performance tuning, issue resolution, and ongoing improvements.
