The SDLC is Broken
Business problem: “The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is broken, because environments are broken”
Production Issue’sDefects in production
Less innovationLengthy MTTR
Time to MarketDelayed time-to-revenue
How to meet market demandsCustomer satisfaction
Cost of DevelopmentInefficient use of CAPEX & OPEX
Late deliveryLow utilization

Release back to IT:50%+ VM Sprawl
EnvironmentLifecycle
Weeks to provision, average wait time is 18 days
Defects pushed downstream - 40% rejected by Development
A recent IBM study:“50% of the Dev/Test
infrastructure is idle 90% of the time”
