With Skytap we have the virtual machines we need to give our students an authentic hands-on experience. We no longer are limited to slide decks and simulations. Skytap has helped us by providing the cloud infrastructure we needed in order to provide effective virtual instruction and certification programs.

Skytap is a game-changer for Open Text. Our sales team can now instantly conduct sophisticated demos of our software whether they are remote or onsite with the customer. By moving to the Skytap Cloud, we have improved the customer evaluation experience and shortened our sales cycle.
Technical Marketing Manager, Open Text
On the operations side, we needed minimal conflicts with customer firewalls, a quick learning curve for instructors and administrators, and the ability to scale up or down as necessary. Skytap met all our defined requirements and more.

Skytap was the only cloud solution that allowed us to be up and running immediately in the event of a disaster. Our customers can rest assured that we have a business continuity plan backed by a highly scalable solution that can be activated with 100 percent reliability.

Our developers need to have the ability to quickly provision development environments and to just as quickly destroy the environments when no longer needed. Skytap Cloud is enabling teams across several different lines of business to augment staff and resources as needed.

With Skytap we were able to go form zero servers to 70 servers in less than a month. Before Skytap this would have been impossible with our previous infrastructure capabilities.

Leveraging Skytap’s IPsec VPN is perfect for our needs. Using an IPsec VPN to access our Skytap resources provides us with a huge security benefit.
Manager IT Systems Engineering and Architecture, Coinstar
I have suffered years of pain and aggravation working in environments where server acquisition moves at a snail’s pace. Previous organizations would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars or more for development and test environments and then fail on the management of each. With Skytap we nailed it first time at a fraction of the investment.
Manager of Application Development, Centric Group
Skytap allows those consultants that are remotely distributed throughout the country to have access to our projects as if they were inside our four walls.

Finding Skytap has made provisioning very simple. I’ve used other cloud services, but they only offer big toolboxes where you are responsible for building out and customizing to your specific needs. Skytap’s solution enabled us to be up and running in a matter of minutes, and in the end, has enabled us to grow significantly against our competitors.
Director of Engineering, Calypso
After only a few months of working with Skytap, we saw tremendous success. We’re now aiming to expand our use case to all support and QA teams who have expressed interest in Skytap’s unique snapshot capabilities and highly configurable environments. Development teams have also gravitated towards Skytap and once the engineering teams got wind that we were doing internal demos, they too were begging for cloud environments so that they too could be more productive.
Director of Engineering, Calypso
We saw the Skytap Cloud as a means of providing our partners with 24x7 worldwide access to standardized training resources. We can now enable any student to become certified without having to leverage an instructor or execute a time consuming and non-billable shadowing exercise.
