SDL for Engineering Organizations
Test, Development, TME and Support Team Collaboration
Software Defined Labs reduces costs and improves efficiency for engineering teams including QA/DevTest, Software Development, Support/TAC and Technical Marketing and Performance.
Sandboxes, whether they are designed to be test beds for feature, system, performance, interop or regression testing or they are replications of customer topologies for debugging, can be easily constructed and shared across teams and among team members.
The Tokalabs SDL solution includes a Software-Defined fabric that eliminates the need for physical rewiring and enables teams to create an exponential number of topologies are created, managed, and used for testing, debugging, recreation, and regression. Resources are also easily shared in software.
Vastly Improve Productivity
Lab Resource Management
Eliminate the need for multiple user interfaces to control the diverse set of devices in your network and manage it all through SDL. Abstract every physical and virtual resource on-premise and control your cloud domains as well. For large complex lab networks, SDL can help you integrate new gear by setting up isolated sandboxes and scheduling integrations. Automated service upgrades for devices can also be programmed into the SDL platform.
Logs and Analytics
Software Defined Labs also provides detailed logging to monitor scripts, track configuration changes, and view utilization of lab and network assets over time. The metrics will allow you to know when to procure additional resources and when to move underutilized resources from one team to another.
User Access and Automation
Software Defined Labs allows you to define privilege levels and provide secure access to network resources to engineers across teams. Engineers can access resources on-demand or by using the SDL built-in scheduler. Access to entire network topologies can be shared by team members through just a single url. SDL also includes an automation engine, which allows engineers to automate sequences without writing any code.
