Schedule provides a way to apply huge user load on the
application under test. To apply that amount of load, you need good
infrastructure support ranging from physical desktop computers with
enough RAM, Processors, and different operating systems. You need
labs to host the computers. There is good amount of investment required.
You can cut down on that investment by running the schedule in a cloud
location.
IBM® Rational® Performance Tester supports running the schedule on the public cloud by using the SoftLayer infrastructure or on the
private cloud of VMware.
