Virtualization is Mainstream

• Virtualization market will grow to $15B+ by 2010!• More than three-quarters of all companies with 500+

employees today are deploying virtual servers.• Customer satisfaction is high• Survey respondents currently using server virtualization

technologies report that they expect 45% of new servers purchased next year will be virtualized.

• More than 50% of all virtual servers are running production level applications, including the most business critical workloads

Using Virtualization in Testing

• Enable More Testing With Existing Resources

• Multiple applications and operating systems can be supported within a single physical system

• Computing resources can be pooled and allocated based on business needs

• Instant Test Sandboxes• Virtual machines are completely

isolated from the host machine and other virtual machines so if a virtual machine crashes, all others are unaffected

• Data does not leak across virtual machines and applications can only communicate over configured network connections

• Centralized Configuration Management• Standardized virtualized hardware is

presented to the application to ensure compatibilityConfidential17

Dell Services

Virtual Lab Automation

• Self-service provisioning• Enables multiple test organizations to share pool of test resource

capacity• Monitoring, allocation and adjustment of capacity as needed• Detailed reporting on lab usage and tracking• Collaboration and workflow• Browser access from work, home, offshore locations• Multiple deployment instances of the same test configuration

without conflict• Resource scheduling and capacity planning• Snapshot environments to rapidly collaborate and resolve defects• Integration with Test Automation tools• Request specific configurations from within test scripts• Enables fully automated test cycles• Allows standardized deployment of testing tools
