Problems that an Infrastructure Test/Dev Cloud addresses

Multiple clusters are often created limiting their use to only run applications with compatible requirements. To change a cluster configuration manual time consuming and expensive re-provisioning may occur. This results in limited performance and scalability, with slow and expensive server re-provisioning.

Solution offered by an Infrastructure Test/Dev Cloud

IT infrastructure managers are able to provide a self-service portal for users to deploy applications on the cluster. This enables developers and testers to make requests for resources on demand through a reservation system. Platform ISF’s re-provisions the computing resources to meet the request. This automated policy-driven allocation ensures that business priorities and demands are met while enabling optimum utilization of resources.
