Replicate offers CGnet Productivity and “Peace of Mind”

May 8th, 2007

PALO ALTO, Calif., One early customer for the Replicate Rollout Testbed service is Eric Romero, Senior Applications Analyst at CGNET Services International, Inc. He commented, “Compared to using a physical testbed I think this has taken about 1/5 the time and allowed me to easily explore a number of potential configurations I just wouldn’t have had time to setup. I have been very pleased with the level of support and responsiveness of the Replicate team, and with the capabilities of their testbed environment.”

Georg Lindsey, CEO at CGnet observed “One key benefits of the Replicate service is that other technical staff members will be able to leverage and re-use a number of the configurations that Eric built. Replicate allows us to save and re-use his work.”

Eric Romero added “The challenge with coming back to a physical test bed for do additional testing is that you are not always certain what state it’s in. With Replicate, I have the peace of mind that I know the copy I saved was in a known good state. Also, I can checkpoint save before trying a new configuration and if I don’t get it right the first time, I don’t have to re-build my environment, just copy back a known good version. My time to get a new clean setup went from 3 hours to 5-10 minutes.”
