Mixed production and test environments

Usually, production and test environments should be isolated from each other. Partitioning enables separate partitions to be allocated for the production and test systems, eliminating the need to purchase additional hardware and software.

When testing has been completed, the resources allocated to the test partition can be returned to the production partition or elsewhere as required. You can also add extra resources to a partition if you want to move the partition from a test environment to a production environment. As new projects are developed, they can be built and tested on the same hardware where they will be deployed.
