Overview

StackSafe provides software infrastructure testing solutions that enable IT operations to significantly improve uptime and resiliency.  StackSafe’s flagship product, StackSafe Test Center, directly addresses incomplete and ineffective IT operations staging and testing of changes to multi-tiered software infrastructure stacks.  With Test Center, StackSafe provides the first easy-to-use virtualized staging and testing solution that enables IT operations to understand the business impact of changes—before they touch production systems.

What IT problem does StackSafe Test Center address?

Simply stated, the problem is downtime and its causes.  IT downtime on any scale has a negative impact on all businesses, no matter the size or industry.  In today’s global economy, businesses need to be ‘always on,’ requiring 100 percent uptime of services and networks.  StackSafe’s research has shown that changes to the software infrastructure are the leading cause of downtime.

Application and infrastructure change requests, in all sizes, from the large-scale and important to the miniscule and low priority, continually inundate IT operations teams.  To meet these requests and maintain the level of high service availability, which businesses expect and demand, IT operations teams must remain responsive to these requests even though these changes may impact their ability to continue day-to-day operations work and cause network or application downtime.  This brings about a “perfect storm” for IT operations teams: IT and infrastructure changes are necessary in every organization and grow along with business and system expansion – but in organizations with increasingly complex environments, changes often lead to significant service outages and downtime across the enterprise.
