Benefits of Using DICE

Enhance Product Quality, Credibility & Functionality

Over the last decade, the computing environment has significantly changed.  Driven by growing customer requirements, solution providers have responded with an unparalleled growth in computing technologies and advancements.  But who is independently testing and evaluating products and technology to ensure performance specifications work in the real environment at both individual and geographically dispersed centers?

In the real environment, it is not enough for a vendor to say a product or technology works and meets specifications.

In reality, customers want tested evidence.

The U.S. needs an agreed-upon, vendor-neutral test environment to evaluate and validate emerging technologies including data management solutions, power and cooling and other technologies.
DICE was created to address this very issue.

• Maximize technology investments focused on critical challenges
• Optimize product quality, performance and functionality
• Correct deficiencies and vulnerability issues before deployment
• Reduce risk and cost
• Test technology alternatives prior to full scale implementation
• Enhance validity and marketability of products and technology
• Accelerate time-to-market for new product releases
