Given the simultaneous drive for profitable operations and innovation, it is no secret that most companies are moving toward the cloud. RiVidium has partnered with key testing, hardware and software development partners to develop a unique Testing as a Service Cloud Environment out of the box. This new strategy should drive a new wave of critical conversations on topics such as testing & business model innovation; smarter product creation; the achievement of smarter operations; the migration toward a globally integrated enterprise; and the development of new techniques of engagement between suppliers and customers. The outcomes of these explorations will manifest themselves in a new view of the future and an intelligent plan to achieve it.

With shrinking budgets and new constraints in pricing and regulation, it is likely the competitive landscape will change in its relations to cloud computing, the testing of systems, and applications within the Department of Defense (DOD) and government. Large and small prime contractors operating within the DOD will be forced to innovate and provide their clients a more robust and cost efficient solution to testing the enterprise’s business applications.

RiVidium’s Testing as a Service (TaaS) Private Cloud (see figure below) is an architecture for building TaaS solutions, which combines integrated software, consolidated guidance, and validated configurations with hardware partner computing power, network, and storage architectures; additionally, it provides value-added software components to deliver return on investments (ROI) for our clients. Specifically, RiVidium’s TaaS Private Cloud utilizes the core capabilities of the Windows Server operating system, Hyper-V technology, and Microsoft System Center 2012 to deliver the building blocks of a TaaS Private Cloud infrastructure as a service offering.

RiVidium’s TaaS Private Cloud integrates multiple products and technologies, in addition to hardware requirements, to create reference implementation. Should the solution be purchased from RiVidium, the reference implementation guidance is implemented with partner hardware and sold as a reference implementation out of the box. Whether the customer decides to implement the RiVidium-validated reference implementation guidance with his or her own hardware or with hardware from a RiVidium partner, it goes through a validation process. In either case, RiVidium and its hardware partners have created a solution that is ready to meet customer needs. Our solution set includes:

• Consulting – Turnkey testing solution offerings
• Mentoring
• Test Management
• Test process best practices
• Test automation best practices
• Technology transfer to client’s staff
• Training on automated test solutions / products

Our cloud computing is a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing testing resources (such as OpNet testing solutions, CA LISA Virtualization and Web Services Testing, HP ALM/BTO solutions, Networks, Servers, Storage, Applications, and Services) that can be rapidly provisioned to support end-to-end testing of software, hardware, services and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
