27. Software Group
Skytap and DSG SolutionsLab
• What is it NOT?
– EMEA DSG Solutions Lab is NOT a replacement for Skytap
Skytap is a valuable tool to quickly Spinup Demos and to run POCs
Skytap is ideal for the IDAM PreSales engineers and Architects
With Skytap, flexible full read-write demos can be built
• What is it?
– EMEA DSG Solutions Lab can be used as an Add-On to the Skytap
demos.
– EMEA DSG Solutions Lab hosts a number of read-only demos showing
Dell Software Solution sets and integrations

28. Software Group
Skytap and DSG SolutionsLab
• What can NOT be done with Skytap?
– Certain Dell Software Solutions can not be hosted in Skytap. E.g. Next
Generation Firewalls
– Build complex Customer like Setups that include diverse routed networks
– Always on Demos, Skytap does not allow always on Demos
• DSG Solutions Lab and Skytap integration
– We are looking for the ability to integrate Skytap demos with the EMEA
DSG Solution Lab
– This will allow to quickly build add-ons in Skytap to EMEA DSG Solution
Demos and Workshop Pods
– This requires a Site to Site VPN between Skytap and EMEA DSG
Solutions Lab, this is currently being investigated
