We are happy to announce the latest addition to Tellago Studios’ product family: TeleSharp. After the success of SO-Aware and the SO-Aware Test Workbench, we decided to tackle on a bigger challenge by taking the initial steps towards simplifying enterprise .NET application development. After months of discussion with customers we decided to focus on the following challenges:

Cataloging Applications

What if you could keep a central catalog of the .NET applications exist on your enterprise? What if you could know the assemblies, services, databases that are part of those applications and how are they are configured and deployed?

Managing .NET Configuration

What if you could you centralize the configuration files used by your different applications? What if you could reuse configuration sections across different applications? What about keeping multiple versions of configuration files and sections? Securing configuration sections?

Information and Exception Logging

What if you could have a centralized and scalable repository to track the information and exceptions generated by your different applications? Imagine having effective ways to report and visualize the exceptions generated by your .NET applications?

WHAT ABOUT IF ALL THIS WAS EASILY AVAILABLE THROUGH A SIMPLE WEB INTERFACE AND ALSO INTEGRATED INTO VISUAL STUDIO.

We thought about it and created TeleSharp

TeleSharp is an innovative product that addresses some of the most common challenges in .NET applications in the enterprise. After years of struggle developing and managing large .NET applications, we decided to embark on an effort to make .NET application truly agile.

The result of that effort is the first version of TeleSharp!

In a nutshell, TeleSharpis an application metadata repository that provides a set of capabilities that enable true agility in enterprise .NET applications.

This first version of TeleSharp enables the following capabilities:

Application Asset Catalog

TeleSharp provides an application metadata repository that allows architects and developers to keep an up to date data catalog of the different .NET assets used by their enterprise .NET applications. Using this feature, an architect can effectively catalog the Web Services, Databases, Windows Services and other .NET components used by specific applications.

Centralized Configuration Management

Configuration management is by far the biggest challenge of .NET enterprise applications. TeleSharp addresses this challenge by providing a centralized configuration repository for your .NET applications. Using this repository, you can keep an organized catalog of the different configuration files used by your .NET applications.

Configuration File Authoring

TeleSharp provides a drag and drop editor to model your configuration files by reusing existing configuration sections or creating new ones.

.NET Configuration File Versioning

TeleSharp keeps track of different versions of configuration sections which allow IT professionals to rollback specific changes as well as track the history of a specific configuration file.

.NET Configuration File Security

TeleSharp brings security to a first class citizen of your .NET configuration management experience by enabling the ability to sign and encrypt specific sections of a configuration file.

.NET Configuration File Publishing

TeleSharp provides a publishing system that allows IT professional to publish new or updated configuration files to a large number of servers simultaneously.

Centralized Logging and Error Handling

TeleSharp includes a high performance centralized repository to store the logging and exception information of your .NET applications.

Log & Error Visualization

TeleSharp provides various intuitive and yet sophisticated mechanisms to visualize the logging and exception information of your applications. For instance, you can visualize your log information using the tables, charts and even a pivot view that allows you to quickly find information in your application logs.

Native Logging Framework

TeleSharp includes a simple and high performant logging framework that allows developers to instrument their applications from a central place. TeleSharp also integrates with popular logging technologies such as the Microsoft Enterprise Library or Log4Net.

Visual Studio Integration

TeleSharp integrates natively with Visual Studio enabling developers to leverage the centralized configuration and application metadata management capabilities during their development experience.

Assembly Visualization

TeleSharp allows you to visualize your deployed .NET assemblies making it easy to detect and track changes that could impact your applications.
