Spending more hours setting up machines and networks than testing or running production systems? Don’t have enough physical machines to performance-test your multi-tier applications, or quickly scale to react to changing client needs in production?

You’re not alone. As the factory production line was in the last century, so is IT in this century: businesses who can optimize for responsiveness and best use of invested dollars will win. This criticality means IT -- whether test lab or managed service provider in production -- must overcome the three major challenges of responiveness, complexity, and cost.

There is a solution: Scalent lets you rapidly, repeatedly deploy different multi-tier business systems on the same machines for testing, or quickly increase, decrease, or change production capacity and function … on the fly, without any physical network changes, and through an interface that guarantees server farm functional reality matches design. Effectively, Scalent enables you to create an enterprise compute cloud, of any size, internal to your company.

Test labs and managed service providers who have deployed Scalent software have realized significant increases in responsiveness, and reductions in cost and complexity, as well as up to 56% improvement in total cost of ownership(TCO) through:

	Increased Responsiveness: Scalent enables you to maintain a library of server images, with their associated network and storage topologies, on centrally located storage. This in turn enables rapid redeployment of full business systems of servers, on the fly, without any physical network changes -- so you can test or deploy one multi-tier application minutes after the other, on the same or different machines, with effectively no setup time.
	Reduced Management Complexity: Scalent’s WYSIWYG graphical user interface guarantees that server farm functional reality matches design, the same way, every time you deploy – and since Scalent software manages network and storage connection reconfiguration, alleviating the need for physical cable and machine movement, more time can be spent on that design. The result: data center operations become simpler, faster, and smarter.
	Lowered Costs: With improved utilization and simplified repurposing or reconfiguration, less hardware and administration is necessary – and operational costs fall accordingly. Systems maintain performance, in a simpler, more scaleable way.
