⢠By establishing standard patterns for their deployments, and
removing the diversity and complexity of systems they were
able to shorten production delivery times from 6 months down
to 2 months, and most recently down to 2 weeks and in some
cases 2 days.
⢠They have been able to drive out hard and soft costs, and have
experienced improved application performance and stability.
⢠They have also been able to realize a 12 month ROI that has
allowed them to get additional funding and take this IT change
initiative to the next level.

Phoenix Test Servers are test systems that we rebuild for each round of testing to ensure we donât accidentally produce code or configuration that works because of a left over from a prior set up.
Red/Green Servers (a.k.a odd/even) are none active instances set up along side an active environment so that pre-production deployments and tests can be done prior to a go live. This gives an easy path to switch back and avoids the all weekend sucky go live conference calls because everyone is concerned that the deployment might not work.
