Development & Demo Instances

If you're still running a colocated server, or have servers chugging away on-premesis, then there's a very good chance you can refocus that administrative effort on your primary mission by taking advantage of a cloud platform such as Amazon's EC2.

Owning and operating the infrastructure on which you develop, test, and demo your systems is a complex and often expensive task, draining time and resources away from what you actually do for a living. Unless you're trying to build a core competency in datacenter operations, it's time to take a closer look at how you can leverage the cloud to lighten that load.

How many times have you wished you could spin up a reliable demo server (or two), preconfigured and ready to go right out of the box?

What if you could take a point-in-time snapshot of a demo instance, and spin up multiple, identical copies for use by your sales team in the field?

Imagine having the ability to launch a fully-functioning stock Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, or other enterprise system in minutes, instead of hours or days. Imagine the impact on your development timeline. At Synergy Codeworks, we regularly spin up development instances of Oracle E-Business Suite, use them for a couple of weeks for development or proof-of-concept work, and then shut them down when we're done.

But what does it cost, you ask? Using an EC2 Large instance with 300GB of storage - about $50 per week.

Thanks to the evolution of mature cloud computing platforms, it's now possible to:

• Use the operating system and environment of your choice
• Have full unfettered root access to your server
• Enjoy the benefits of highly-redundant, and highly-available elastic storage
• Scale resources up and down to meet actual demand, and pay for only what you use
• Take point-in-time snapshots of instances, and spin up as many as you need
