IssueReproduction

Environment ScarcityCauses IT Inefficiencies in the Product Lifecycle

50% 10%Of all data center infrastructure

is devoted to pre-production

SDLC.

Average utilization of

pre-production

infrastructure.

And demand for pre-production

environments is still not met.

On-average, each enterprise

software release cycle loses 18

days waiting for access to an

environment.

Manual Labor & DefectsCauses Dev/Test Inefficiencies in the SDLC

Shared environments restrict parallel workstreams,

restrict innovation and prevent exploratory dev/test

Environments must be reset after each test run

30-50% of QA time is spent on environ mgmt.

Preproduction environments are not at parity

40-50% defects due to inconsistent environments

Limited access to pre-production environments

25% of developer time spent reproducing defects

Cloud Environments as a ServiceRemoves product lifecycle inefficiencies

Self-service access to as many as needed,

whenever needed, on-demand

Eliminates teams waiting for access & enables

parallel workstreams

restrict innovation and prevent exploratory dev/test

Pre-provisioned, networked, configured & data-

loaded multi-server environments

Reduces time spent on environment management

Environments are predictable & identical clones

Catch defects sooner to reduce costs & downtime

Clone environments including data & memory state

Developers have immediate access to the defect
