Accelerated Application Testing 

The Challenge:

1. Accelerate the development, testing and delivery of software to improve business operations, maintain competitiveness and generate new sources of revenue.
2. Allow real-time testing to occur using copies of current production data but without disrupting normal operations.
3. Identify and eliminate more software bugs and errors prior to deployment.

The Solution:

Use StoreAge multiView and multiCopy data replication solutions to streamline the application testing process, enable more thorough testing, speed the delivery of new applications, and minimize the cost of post-deployment support.
