Lab Services
Enterprise quality on demand - Development, Testing, QA, Staging, UAT, and demo servers.
Lab Servers
Enterprise-quality, on-demand virtual servers for development, testing, QA, staging, UAT, and demos starting at about $70/month.
Each Lab Server lets you:
- Quickly clone or spin-up servers as needed from saved images, backups or one of our many preconfigured platforms
- Upgrade or downgrade the server at any time and only get billed for what is allocated on the server per hour.
- Add storage easily – even without a reboot in some instances.
- Build server groups for quick reporting on team server usage and price
- Never maintain development hardware again
How does the Lab work?
Built for the Lab
This service is perfect for development, testing, load testing, and even demos. Add servers in less than 10 minutes and remove or archive them when you are done. Pay only for the cycles you use.
Lab Groups
The grouping feature lets you group servers together for ease of management and accounting. Common groupings include: by project, by customer ,and by environment (i.e., development, testing, user acceptance testing).
5 Days of Backups
From API's to a local drive you can access your files by the following means: REST, WebDAV, Phone Clients, and soon by Secure FTP.
On Demand
In the lab environment you can deploy servers at any time in less than 10 minutes. Once deployed, you can turn off or pause your VM’s and only pay for storage, thus significantly reducing the cost of your development and testing environments.
99.99% Uptime SLA
With our enterprise network and clustered file system, Tier3 provides a true SLA for your cloud storage that is supported on a 24x7 basis by level 3 engineers. Need help? Just contact us!
Archiving
You can archive groups of servers and then restore them when needed. Think of it as revision control – but for your entire server environment.
