According to Skytap, companies have 10 main reasons for speeding up cloud computing applications. These reasons are:
1. Eliminate the infrastructure constraints: cloud-based services enable businesses to quickly and in accordance with business requirements to save the local dynamic adjustment of the virtual environment.
2. Turn upfront capital expenditure into operating expenses: the use is hourly, allowing institutions to pay the capacity they use without having to invest in unused capacity.
3. Bring software to market faster: developers can support important business plans by delivering applications faster by using cloud computing.
4. The application runs unchanged as it does in the virtual labs: businesses do not need to use virtual labs to modify or rewrite cloud computing applications. As a result, companies can use cloud computing resources as an extension of their internal environment.
5. Global team collaboration with a shared virtual data center: Developers and testers can collaborate and resolve problems on the same virtual machine in real time on the network.
6. Use self-service mode to speed up configuration time: A virtual Lab automation solution based on cloud computing provides a self-service network portal. In this way, development and quality assurance professionals do not need IT administrators to deploy the environment.
7. Improve software quality and predictability: the IT environment in cloud computing can be terminated at the point of failure, allowing testers to check the settings of the virtual machine against a shared library.
8. Reduce server sprawl: cloud-based Virtual labs have an easily managed settings library that helps manage, track, and deploy virtual machines while eliminating underutilized physical hardware.
9. Create a "sandbox" before production to test the impact of changes in production: IT operations will save costs because the environmental changes before maintenance and production will be tested before production deployment.
10. Allows IT operations teams to focus on production uptime: Cloud based Virtual labs eliminates setup and demolition times, allowing IT operations teams to focus on production systems rather than focusing on the lab's environmental cycle.
