In 2004 the „virtualmachines.biz
Testcenter“ was the first of its kind worldwide
to our knowledge. At the moment there is no comparison.
For prospective customers of VMware ESX server this was
the
first opportunity
given, in order to comfortably
test the full extent and functions of VMware via
the Internet and with the ability to use up to date
services and hardware.
Since 2008 the project is named Datacenter On
Demand. New technologies and hardware are been constantly
added
to
our test centre.

What advantages do I have by using the d-on-d?
The d-on-d is
an autonomous IT environment. In this environment you are able to conduct SW-Installations
and configurations as if you were physically standing
directly in front of the servers. The test proximity
is based on current, professional IT equipment and
offers you the option while testing the VMware ESX
server, VMware VirtualCenter and VMware VMotion that
all features of the software can be tested and examined.
Overview of the advantages:
1
Time is saved by not having
to acquire test servers. Time is further saved
by not having to install and dismantle the hardware.
2
All hardware is VMware certified,
therefore no compatibility problems can be expected.
3
All features can tested due to the
fact that a SAN is available.
4
With additional charges we can obtain
a test licence for the virtualising of software
for you.
5
On request, preinstalled virtualization-software
can be made available.
6
you are able to comfortably test directly
from your work station, without the hassle of having
to drive to and from a test area.
7
Special configurations, such as direct
Internet connection with static IPs are possible.
If you would like to test special applications
from your peripheral on the virtual infrastructure,
we would gladly feed these into your test environment.
Technical Data
The benchmark data for
the test environment is
as follows:
Server
- Cisco, UCS - Unified Computing System
- HP, DL380 line with different generations.
