Agile Dev & Test in the Cloud

Slide 2: Why Cloud for Dev & Test?
• 30% to 50% of all servers are dedicated to test • Most dev/test servers run at less than 10% utilization, if they are running at all!
• Dev & Test environments are seen as expensive and providing little real business value • Enterprises are more comfortable running Dev and Test in the cloud than production
