Carpathia Hosting announced today its partnership with Citrix Systems and VMLogix to launch the InstantOn Virtual Lab Solution™. This service will be priced lower than deploying dedicated development test lab environments.  InstantOn Virtual Lab Solution is a fully managed development and test solution hosted in the cloud. Carpathia cloud services will be used with services for government agencies and businesses.

“Because the InstantOn Virtual Lab Solution is hosted in the cloud, customers no longer need expensive, dedicated hardware or resources devoted to managing and maintaining development and test environments that inherently are unstable and difficult to manage,” said Peter Weber, CEO of Carpathia Hosting. “The combination of Carpathia Hosting, Citrix and VMLogix technologies delivers a truly turn-key solution for enterprises and federal agencies looking to shift this critical workload from dedicated infrastructure to the cloud.”

“The InstantOn Virtual Lab solution allows users to push development and testing to the cloud, enabling them to convert capital expenses to operating expenses,” said Klaus Oestermann, group vice president and general manager, Networking and Cloud Product Group at Citrix. “Leveraging the Citrix Cloud Solution for Development and Test, users can take advantage of the pay as you go pricing model, paired with elimination of the manual build and configuration tasks. This reduces both the expense and the effort required to create a development and test environment, while enabling access to a pool of computing resources that can be quickly and automatically provisioned.”
