Agile QA and Sustenance Solution

Challenge

Our US-based client is a leading software-defined storage solutions company which runs the Illumos (OpenSolaris) kernel with several components and plugins. Their flagship product is based on open storage architecture and runs on all industry-standard x86 platforms. In order to meet market demand, the client has consistently introduced new enhancements to its portfolio of storage products. Legacy products, on the other hand, requires ongoing support at all times. Balancing the constant need for continuous software development while implementing new technologies presented a challenge.
