Application Upgrades
The IT Operations Challenge
Upgrades often require production downtime and create operational disruption. In the case of a new application deployment or a major application upgrade, the sheer size and complexity of the effort makes it difficult to verify how the application will perform in the production environment until after it has been deployed.
The StackSafe Solution
StackSafe™ Test Center enables IT Operations, associated users, technicians, administrators and stakeholders to:
- Create multiple production images to perform various functional tests
- Test specific aspects of the application
- Test inter-operation between components
- Stress-test relative performance and response times
- Receive business owner's signoff before approving the application for production
Bottom-line benefit: StackSafe Test Center enables IT Operations to test the introduction of new applications and upgrades, using the full software infrastructure stack, while minimizing continued downtime and operational disruption to users.
