At present Farrow said the Lab was running 50 concurrent server workloads on the virtualised environment, but expected this to increase tenfold over the next couple of months.
He said the effect of virtualising the development servers had been significant in terms of researchers having access to the almost limitless capacity which virtualisation and cloud computing allowed.
