Problem VMSynergy Addresses
Today's software development and test environments create a huge demand on IT staff.  It is estimated that a typical project can require 3 or more servers per developer. For software companies that must write code compatible with a large number of operating system versions and software stacks, this can be overwhelming to IT, who must provision multiple servers.  Often, developers must settle on a small subset of the platforms they need to develop and test against just to meet deadlines.  This can lead to software launch delays which can impact revenue as well as software errors which drive customer support costs up and negatively affect customer satisfaction.
