CohesiveFT and Skytap announced a technology partnership to
distribute CohesiveFT’s Elastic Servers to Skytap’s Virtual Lab platform. The
combined solution will provide application development and test teams the
capability to dynamically assemble and deploy custom application stacks to a
virtual test cloud, freeing them from time-consuming build and set-up tasks and
the constraints of traditional test lab environments.
As a first step in the partnership, Elastic Server-branded virtual machines
will be available as templates in the Skytap Library for deployment to Skytap's
Virtual Lab environment. The Skytap Library includes pre-built virtual machine
images of common operating systems, servers and applications. With the addition
of virtual machine images generated by Elastic Server, Skytap Virtual Lab users
have access to these custom images on demand, eliminating the assembly of
application stacks “by hand”.
“Development and test teams are on the leading edge of exploiting cloud-based
virtual infrastructure to deliver tangible results to the business in terms of
a more agile delivery platform and reduced costs,” said Scott Roza, chief
executive officer of Skytap. “Adding Elastic Server virtual images to the
Skytap Library demonstrates how combining cloud-based services can deliver
significant value and productivity gains to customers.”
“Both Cohesive FT and Skytap share the vision of how cloud-computing services
will accelerate the adoption of virtualization by companies looking to
streamline their IT infrastructure,” said Pat Kerpan, president and chief
technology officer of CohesiveFT. “Our partnership with Skytap will deliver a
new class of solution where the ability to dynamically assemble and provision
virtual machines is possible over the Web. This not only eliminates the typical
administrative overhead of assembling virtual machine images “by hand,” but
also enables these images to be deployed and hosted in a virtual environment on
demand.”
CohesiveFT and Skytap’s joint solution enables:
- Publishing virtual machine images created by CohesiveFT’s Elastic Server On Demand to the Skytap Library
- Browsing and searching of CohesiveFT’s virtual machines through Skytap Virtual Lab’s user interface
- One-click deployment of CohesiveFT’s virtual machines into Skytap Virtual Lab
