Overview
Parallels Solution
Resources & Evidence
Developers, testers, QA and technical support professionals are among the main groups to immediately realize the true potential and benefits of virtualization technology and to quickly adopt it to help in their roles and daily work functions.
Development and Testing Environments
Virtualization provides three key benefits for developers and testers:
- Isolated VMs to separate development, design and testing, including regression testing and simulations
- Isolated VMs to test applications with multiple OSes and applications
- Fast and efficient way to test applications against multiple software and hardware configurations
- Cross-platform access on the Apple Xserve hardware platform
Development and Testing Infrastructure
Developers and testers need to access a consistent set of services to support development efforts. The following set of services are required for most development organizations:
- Database Services
- Web Infrastructure
- Server Infrastructure
- Directory and Security Services
Through desktop virtualization, organizations can empower their technical professionals with greater flexibility and easier access to key platforms, operating systems and applications, enabling them to ensure higher quality products in less time.
Parallels offers a comprehensive set of virtualization tools to help development, testing and technical support organizations to extract optimum value from their limited IT resources.
