Built in 49 BC (approx).

Withstood wars & earthquakes

Still in use today


Enterprise ProblemsEnterprise Problems

Unsuccessful IT projects - CIO Survey 75% of IT projects considered failures 50% of time considered “churn time”

Too much money spent on maintaining existing system rather than delivering new business solutions

Ad-hoc, informal growth of applications and servers

Inability to react rapidly to change in the organization


Technology Problem Technology Problem

Unmanageable, slow and expensive to adapt

How You Use WSSRAHow You Use WSSRA


The Dev. & Test ProblemThe Dev. & Test ProblemThe cost of non-production infrastructure

can be prohibitive or at least a significant burden

Low footprint is a necessity for non-production infrastructure just to make efficient use of resources

Ensuring architectural integrity between production, staging, testing and development environment is difficult

As development and test efforts come and go, extreme agility of infrastructure is required to effectively support the business


The Dev. & Test ScenariosThe Dev. & Test Scenarios

Developing custom applications with the highest degree of confidence they will just work when roll-out into production

Testing patches or software updates before touching production systems

Proof-of-ConceptTemporary infrastructure provisioned from a

“farm”
