Tags:
virtualization

Overview Responding to an explosion in the number of underutilized servers that have accumulated across software development teams and to the unsustainably increasing percentage of time spent on repetitive system setup and configuration tasks in support of AD activities, enterprise application development teams, and the software development teams in leading software companies and system manufacturers, have turned to Virtual Lab Automation for relief. By slashing equipment-related capital and operating costs, dramatically reducing the time wasted repetitively provisioning systems, and by providing for cost-effective quality assurance even when teams are distributed around the globe, the Virtual Lab Automation system represents a new and critical "Best practice" component in any software development and test environment.
