Seattle startup Skytap rents out virtual lab space to software develop…
Seattle Times – Apr 10, 2008
Today the company’s revealing its core product, a new name and a chief executive recruited by investors who funded the company in August. Now called Skytap, the 20-person company is offering an online service called Virtual Lab. It basically rents out virtual test labs in all sorts of configurations, so that software developers won’t have to set up labs themselves. Skytap hosts the labs at its data center, and users access them via browsers. When testers find bugs in a particular configuration, they can use the service to save a snapshot, share it with software developers and collaborate on fixes. Likely customers include small to midsize software-development companies, software integrators and departments within larger tech companies, according to Scott Roza, who left Hewlett-Packard to become the company’s chief executive March 1. The company is licensing its “infrastructure over the Web” on a monthly basis, with discounts for companies that sign up for six-month or one-year blocks.
