Get Started with VMware vCloud Air: Development and Testing
Businesses today need to increase productivity, enhance quality and launch applications faster than ever. This means software development life cycles need to keep pace, but adding on-premises infrastructure to meet the demand for dev/test environments can be costly and time-consuming. VMware® vCloud Air™ offers a solution
Because vCloud Air is built on VMware vSphere®, it�s 100% compatible with existing onsite vSphere environments. This means IT admins can recreate their exact onsite application environment in vCloud Air, using the same tools and processes, without having to learn new skills. Applications can be moved effortlessly between test and production environments, giving users a �write once, deliver anywhere,� experience. This conversion-less movement provides developers with accurate and efficient development environments, and ultimately lowers the time to market for new products and services.
This environment flexibility can be applied in many dev/test cases: developers can easily test upgrades for existing applications in isolated environments, test new packaged applications, develop new in-house applications, and reinvent their software development lifecycle using the cloud.
With vCloud Air, IT can instantly scale compute capacity as needed. No more over-purchasing and underutilization of environments – businesses only pay for what they use.
