"What-if" Analysis
The IT Operations Challenge
There are times when IT Operations teams need to test situations and possibilities that extend beyond the standard patch or planned change. In many cases, organizations need to understand the potential impacts of different alternatives before deciding which change, if any, to make. However, performing "what-if" activities in a traditional staging environment requires maintenance time and effort to restore the environment to its pre-tested state—limiting the number of scenarios that can be evaluated.

- Introduce a variety of changes and actions to gauge the impact on the software infrastructure stack
- Perform tests in a sandbox that supports a wide variety of "what-if" analyses
Bottom-line benefit: StackSafe Test Center enables IT Operations to gauge the impact of changes in order to select the most appropriate change—before expending significant implementation resources.
