A major IT vendor had some new cloud infrastructural tie-ins that they just introduced and wished to have a Lab Validation Report written up comparing their solution to the current cloud-based solutions on the market.
Their cloud solution worked on a number of major public cloud providers. The validation activities involved establishing a number of compute and storage instances with specialized networking to tie it all together and required the use of a number of cloud based applications.
The lab validation report was just one of a number of papers/articles/posts that came from the lab activities.
