Software Developers

Many software development teams are moving their pre-production and test environments to the cloud, and for good reason. IT organizations often lack the physical server space in the datacenter to accommodate test environments, which often involve complex compilation tasks that require a lot of capacity. Usually, organizations lack the budget to purchase more equipment, and even if they have the budget, spending it on equipment that would sit unused the majority of the time would not make economic sense.

With RapidScale, software developers can scale their environments quickly and cost-effectively, according to requirements, and then scale back when they don’t need the extra space. They pay only for what they use. This so-called elasticity of resources helps companies accommodate development needs without wasting money on hardware, management and maintenance. Teams can ramp up quickly and get the space they need, while reducing the overall costs of software development.
