"The Time Machine for Containers Product was a critical need for the testing of the software in our environment. The team at Solution-Soft was able to support our strict timelines in the best way possible. My thanks for parallel processing the commercial and implementation activities which certainly assisted in our very successful software delivery.”
Freddie Frank-van-Eyk, CIO
One of the largest Banks in Republic of South Africa

“We successfully implemented Time Machine solution for our critical testing, ensuring smooth operations. The team received exceptional feedback from top management, particularly for executing the year-end processing under pressure. Despite many extreme obstacles, choose Time Machine and work closely with Solution-Soft team, we are able to complete the testing successfully, and the results were overwhelmingly positive”

“The Time Machine software enables the software users to perform tests that would otherwise be almost impossible to perform based on Microsoft’s Active Directory and the limited window of time available to perform each series of tests needed to be completed to determine the solution.”

"Hansen’s previous test environment set-up & authentication process for one series of time/date tests, such as month end or billing service delivery changes, took 3 days before Time Machine. This now takes only 15 minutes. This reduces system set up time by over 80%, allowing for more rapid tests, with more tests done at once. TMFLS is a true enabler for us. With it, licenses are now automatically shared and managed across our development teams in two continents. Systems come up and down all the time in the Cloud. TMFLS solves the need to contact the vendor for a new license key whenever a new box come online, which has been a game-changer for us and reduce costs!”
Cesar Zuart
Software Development Manager

"Using Time Machine allows us to move time to test all transaction types, regardless if they are back dated, future dated, and/or out of sequence. AFI successfully migrated 9 states into our cloud-based system and could not have done it without Time Machine."

"We have been using Time Machine for over 10 years to test multiple internal and third-party applications. It has been a critical tool for migration and regression testing, especially for business applications that support policy administration, billing, and system upgrades. The GUI makes it easy to change time quickly, ensuring that production deployment has minimal to zero impact."
Wendy Sachen, Sr.

“We have Time Machine in use in our test environment. Our test Midas environment is dependent on services running on a test IBM mainframe. The problem is that this mainframe is lagging behind in time so we need to adjust our test banking application on Midas, to run the same date, in order to fully test all functionality in the banking application. I can confirm that Time Machine has performed as expected and we are pleased with it.”

“Utilizing Time Machine, we save a lot of time & effort testing our programs that span an Oracle Exadata system and a clustered Application system running on Solaris Zones. With one of the largest databases in the UK and the complexity and expense to run the Exadata environment, Time Machine’s ability to set a virtual clock is a life saver to keep our project on time and on budget.”

"Universal Credit project is an extremely complex environment involving many groups and testing is always under a time crunch. It's a great challenge to coordinate between groups for critical testing phases/cases and we are very pleased that Time Machine delivered on its promise of saving time and expense with future date testing our mission critical application. In addition, Solution-Soft's team provided exceptional levels of support."

"Without Time Machine, we simply would not have been able to accomplish this testing or training as it would have been way too much work and the wrong dates would have been seen in the program. Microsoft’s Active Directory essentially prohibits us from being able to move the system clock forward or back from real-time. Time Machine provided us the ability to get this done.”

“We can accelerate a months’ worth of processing in a week, or years’ worth of processing in a matter of months or however long is needed to test month end output, reports and year end output and reports. We can also clear out data, reload and retest if necessary. The flexibility is very helpful given the importance of validating that the system is working properly and prevents post go-live production issues."

“We went with Time Machine [to solve issue with time shift testing scripts] and it has been working very well for us. We have the ability to change the date/time across all the components specific to an environment. Executing time/shifts, troubleshooting issues, deployments etc. has been very smooth. We are currently using Time Machine in three Test Environments and One Development Environment, and are very happy with the current setup."

“Without Time Machine, the process was inefficient, required the involvement of multiple teams, took much too long to administer a simple date and time change and we were limited to 2 or 3 databases per system. Now we run more databases on the same number of servers with more testing cycles and the entire process is easier to administer, freeing up everyone’s time.”

“At Medavie Blue Cross, we have to conduct date forward testing for our internal provincial claims systems on a regular basis. With Time Machine, we’re able to host multiple Oracle testing environments on the same system for multiple developers and testers. This not only saves significant costs for potential hardware and software, but also streamlines our application testing process.”

“Without Time Machine, we would not be able to complete our critical testing. Time Machine is the only tool that allows us to do this complicated test; it also helps us to save tremendously on planned and unplanned budgetary.” Pinkerton goes on to say, “We are more than satisfied with Time Machine, it was simple to install, easy to use, and performed exactly as we envisaged. Moreover, Solution-Soft could not have been more helpful or more accommodating, both from a technical and commercial perspective.”
John Pinkerton

"The Tape-out Operations group at Xilinx has been using Solution-Soft's MEBES and GDSII compression tools for several years. With the read and write capability of compressed files now integrated with Synopsys' CATS fracture software, this solution eases our manufacturing preparation burden. Now that we don't have to uncompress files, especially the large MEBES files, we gain a great convenience and a considerable productivity enhancement, as well as save additional investments into infrastructure like file storage servers. Other advantages are faster transfer time of files to our foundry partners overseas and faster restore times from the archive."
Dr. Wolfgang J. Leitermann

"SafeCapacity-Hotfile's ability to clearly identify the most active files on a system, combined with its "pass-through" file access relocation, will provide an enormous benefit to our customers. When combined with BiTMICRO's E-Disk solid state disk device, users will be able to continuously maintain optimum file I/O performance without having to reconfigure their applications."

"I have proven to myself that a SafeVelocity client to SafeVelocity server transfer is faster than standard FTP and does not require additional compress/decompress time at both ends as would be necessary when transmitting GZIP data. That is to say you don't compress anything beforehand; you let SV do it on the fly at both ends. A recent real world example from earlier in the week had a user spend 8-10 hours at his location doing a TAR/ GZIP on a 232 GB GDS data set, and then sending the resultant 100GB GZIP file using standard FTP at standard FTP throughput rates. The transfer would have taken about 25 hours (if it had completed) and would have been followed by another number of hours at the receiving end for the required UNZIP/ UNTAR operations. SafeVelocity transferred the entire 232 GB of original uncompressed GDS files in 20 hours (achieving effective throughput rates beyond those of the underlying physical circuit) and restarted itself four times during that period because of network issues.”
