The combination of IBM SoftLayer, UrbanCode, and Skytap define a differentiated "Environments as a Service” category, poised to lead enterprise cloud adoption for development and test workloads. Development and test workloads will be the largest driver of enterprise public cloud adoption over the next 2-3 years. However, IaaS providers do not offer complete solutions for dev/test. Enterprise development teams attempting to adopt IaaS still find deployment, sharing, and governance of complete environments time consuming and error prone. In the demo a combined IBM SoftLayer, UrbanCode, and Skytap solution shows a fully automated software development pipeline for complex enterprise applications. You will see: - Self-service creation and deployment of multiple copies of a complex TB sized e-commerce environment in under 2 minutes - Automated application deployment to the Skytap environment using UrbanCode Deploy - How Skytap environments are shared for global collaboration - Administrative controls for IT including reporting, auditing, quota management, and notifications
