Bringing Development & Testing to the Cloud
Through a continued partnership with Citrix, and with the addition of VMLogix, Carpathia is now able to bring development and testing to the Cloud. We call it InstantOn Virtual Lab Solution™ - a turn-key solution for enterprises and federal agencies, priced dramatically lower than deploying dedicated development test lab environments.
InstantOn Virtual Lab Solution reduces both the capital expense and manual effort required to create a development and test environment. It also enables access to a pool of computing resources that can be quickly and automatically provisioned shifting capital expenses to operating expenses.
At a glance, this full-featured development and test solution supports complex topologies including firewall, load balancers and complex networks consistent with network production deployments. Further, it supports snapshot, rollback, branching, baseline, checkout, commit and tags. There is no longer a need for expensive, dedicated hardware or resources devoted to managing and maintaining development and test environments that inherently are unstable and difficult to manage.
Drivers:
- Cost: dedicated development and testing infrastructures are costly to build and maintain
- Quality: lack of flexible development and testing environments lead to compromises in thoroughness of testing
- Speed: lengthy development and testing platform build-outs strain delivery time lines which are often delayed or extended
Benefits:
- Does not require purchasing dedicated hardware
- Easy path to promote to production
- Provides tight version control tools and processes
- Orchestration, automation and management of traditionally manual processes
- "Pay as you go and grow"
- Reduce the financial burden of leveraging cloud technologies - from capital expenses to operating expenses
- Eliminate manual configuration set-up and patching
- Collapse testing cycle times by up to 50% by leveraging including a comprehensive toolset
- On-demand access to creation and management of testing environments through VMLogix's Lab Manager
