Skytap provides us with far greater flexibility than a physical IT lab. Testing our software on client platforms, such as Windows 7, can be achieved without waiting for IT operations to manually provision machines. Skytap's self-service model and pre-built virtual machine templates means my team can provision a new test environment in minutes.

I purchased a Dell Mini 9, with 1 GB of RAM in it for personal use and travel with it. With Skytap, all I need is an internet connection for great, rocking demos of an Altiris solution that requires 7 virtual machines! Great service guys, now my bag is lighter when I travel.
