The Power of “And”

Documentum and VMware together:

Can Speed Up Your Deployment
Can Reduce the Time and Cost of Your Deployment
We Know This From First Hand Experience
eRoom Product Operations
• 30 images on one box!
Webtop, Server Product Operations
• Regression Test Cycle Shortened 67%
Sales Demo Hosted Solution
• Saved nearly $1000000
“Lab In a Box”
Lab In a Box

Objective: Create lab for complex 3 tier networked application

Replicable amongst many users in many geographies
Component swapability to physical counterpart

Challenges
Configuration State
• Machine Names/IP addresses
• User Names and Passwords
Networks
• Windows Network Namespace (duplication)
• Test environment isolation
Lab In a Box

Partitioning
Domain Controller
WebServer
Content Server
Database
LoadRunner

Templates
Hosted on NFS
Populated with diagnostic tools.
Scripted to join the domain when cloned.
Lab In a Box

Networking
Lab networks are
virtual
Gateways are
mulithomed
Labs do not
interfere with each
other
VPN is used for
access into the
lab(s).
Lab In a Box

Advantages
Replicability
OS Updates are managed on the templates
Well known configurations lowers learning curve
“Interesting” situations can be saved for later examination
• Machine Resources are not tied up
• Developers can investigate when time permits
• Multiple people can collaborate and trouble shoot issues
An alternative to the “Pottery Barn” model

“It’s all bits”
