Get more from your IBM® Rational® BuildForge® deployment with significantly less effort

Virtual Lab Automation ensures rapid, highly repeatable, resource-optimized deployments of complex, multi-machine build, test, and pre-production environments across virtual machines. VMLogix LabManager enables ISVs and enterprise IT organizations leverage virtualization to consolidate and automate lab IT infrastructure so that software applications can be delivered and maintained more quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. VMLogix LabManager is the first and only VLA solution in the market with a certified IBM Rational BuildForge integration.

Benefits of BuildForge Integration with VMLogix LabManager

• Control physical server sprawl and maximize hardware utilization.
• Reduce high administration overhead.

How does it work?

• Create a Wrapper Project in BuildForge® that sets up VMLogix LabManager and encapsulates the User Project. The User Project starts after the LabManager project is initialized.
• The Wrapper Project waits for the User Project build to finish and then tears down the build servers.
• Once both the Wrapper Project and the User Project is completed, the BOM and log reports are generated.

IBM Rational BuildForge displays the successful run of the wrapper and user project that were deployed on VMLogix LabManager managed build machines
