Everything is Virtually Virtual!!!

A few months ago during a swim workout, one of the other swimmers in my lane seemed to be spending quite a bit of time on the wall. Not wanting to miss my interval, I waited until after the workout to inquire why she was glued to the wall during our longer sets. “Oh, I did a virtual 500”, she proudly stated. Being curious, I asked what a “virtual 500” was. She announced she “thought” about the 500 meter swim while the rest of us actually did the 500 meter swim.

Hmmmm…I have heard the word virtual used in some interesting ways, but to virtually swim!!! This was by far the most creative way to be virtual!!! The swimmer’s name, by the way, was Lisa.

Now, here’s a LISA that does virtualization the right way, iTKO’s LISA with VSE (Virtual Service Environment).

Check out how virtualization can really help in testing in an SOA. I will be participating in a webinar with iTKO Chief Architect, John Michelson. iTKO has just released their latest version of LISA with VSE (Virtual Service Environment). Find out how LISA with VSE increases collaboration across the entire lifecycle.

It is important for every organization to have a virtualization strategy throughout their organization. Tune in to the iTKO webinar on December 6 at 11:00 AM Eastern / 8:00 AM Pacific to discover some interesting statistics about virtualization in the lifecycle and see how LISA with VSE can ease your SOA testing.

Virtualization in the lifecycle can save you time, money and help you avoid confusion. See you on December 6!

Your Next PC? The Personal Cloud, of Course Since the introduction of the personal computer, we all like to longingly think about what our next PC will have. Will it be lighter? Will it have better graphics? Will it be faster? And the biggest question of all, do we really need all of the latest and greatest features. All of these are questions we ponder when a new operating system is released, or when our current PC just decides to quit functioning (usually at the most inopportune of times). Well, what will your next PC be? No, it is not your next Personal Computer, it is your Personal Cloud! That’s right, the next PC you invest in may well be a Personal Cloud. The Apple iPad is just the beginning of this move from the Personal Computer to the Personal Cloud. With the iPad, Apple has hit a grand slam, scored a hattrick, a touchdown, or any other superlative sports metaphor you can conjure up. The iPad is the next step in the computing revolution. If you think Steve Jobs, the Roark of t...

Is HP Getting Serious About Lifecycle Virtualization?

HP Announces Intent to Acquire Network Virtualization Business and Technology of Shunra  I s HP Getting Serious About Lifecycle Virtualization? In a quiet blog post on the evening of March 4, 2014, HP announced that it had signed a definitive agreement to acquire the network virtualization business and technology of Shunra , a current HP partner. The HP blog post continues to outline the benefits the Shunra technology will bring to its mobile software testing business. The blog post ends with an almost cryptic mention of expanding the use of the Shunra technology to other HP products and services such as service virtualization . Service virtualization, indeed, is where the Shunra technology will mesh well with HP offferings. Service virtualization is defined by voke as: Enabling development and test teams to simulate and model their dependencies of unavailable or limited services. Removes constraints and wait times frequently experienced by development and test teams...

New Service Virtualization Research

voke is excited to share the results of our second and most recent research on service virtualization – the voke Market Snapshot TM  Report: Service Virtualization . The latest research was announced on January 22, 2015. This most recent data was collected from over 500 participants from August – October 2014. Survey participants told us how they are using service virtualization, why they adopted it, their general thoughts about service virtualization, the challenges they face with service virtualization, and the benefits of service virtualization.  This research shows that service virtualization is no longer a nascent technology with a practitioner following. Service virtualization is now a proven technology with visibility at all levels of the organization. Change agents, C-level executives, and practitioners alike find value in the measurable and quick ROI service virtualization brings. Full ROI details achieved by participants provided in the report include: Reduced...
