Use Case: Dell AIM and Simplifying Development and Test Operations

Do you have a large, complex set of interconnected, multitier applications that need ongoing development and testing? Are you spending more time and resources to set up physical machines and reset them to clean states than actually doing development and testing? Do you lack sufficient machines to test your multitier applications the right way?

Testing is critical, but hard — and getting harder. Teams face even more complex infrastructure challenges to support production rollout. You can overcome these challenges, by deploying Dell™ Advanced Infrastructure Manager (AIM), a nonintrusive, overlay solution.

Dell AIM lets you rapidly repurpose servers. Using AIM, you can transition your data center between different configurations or from bare metal to live, connected servers in 5 minutes or less, without physical intervention or infrastructure changes.

With Dell AIM, test and development operations become simpler and smarter, with the ability to rebalance for improved efficiency and to rapidly shift testing one service to another (and then back again) without ever physically touching a machine.

IT teams can rack once, cable once, then effortlessly reconfigure and repurpose server infrastructure as needed. Server and business system shifts become a logical, real-time, automatable activity instead of a physical activity.
