Case Study: Deutsche Telekom achieves faster time-to-market and optimized virtual test and development environments with Avanade

Technology Drives Increased Efficiencies For Telecommunication

Deutsche Telekom’s Products & Innovation division needed to speed product introductions and streamline development and test processes by creating a central virtual test and development environment. They required self-service provisioning of single servers and complex environments, full lifecycle support (versioning, backup, recovery, archiving), reusable preconfigured server libraries, and integration with existing change and release management.

Avanade, Microsoft and Accenture implemented a Microsoft-based solution using Windows Server 2008, Hyper‑V, System Center Virtual Machine Manager and Operations Manager to deliver image libraries, self-service provisioning, automated monitoring and runtime optimization (live migration, auto-scale), snapshots and chargeback reporting. The result: significantly shorter time-to-market, reduced administrative effort, improved resource utilization and availability, scalable growth and greener IT operations.
