 VMLogix LabManager enables software companies 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 helps IT organizations empower development, test and support teams to build, snapshot, share and deploy production-like environments on-demand across Citrix, Microsoft and VMware virtualization platforms. Using advanced automation capabilities, advanced team management and seamless integrations with leading build and test management solutions from HP and IBM, companies can dramatically reduce the manual effort, time and IT resources required to develop and maintain higher quality software
applications. | Business Concern | VMLogix LabManager Value Proposition | | Lowering IT costs | When test lab infrastructure is virtualized, there is a reduction in the demand for physical machines and a rapid growth in the number of virtual machines. VMLogix LabManager allows users to centrally manage and self-serve virtual (and physical) infrastructure in the lab while improving lab resource utilization, efficiency and lowering the costs. | | Accelerating time to market | During the software engineering process there are often inefficiencies associated due to poorly managed systems. The setup, teardown, access, configuration etc. of these systems takes up valuable development and testing time. With VMLogix LabManager, these inefficiencies can be removed and lab resources can be easily leveraged across individuals/teams and re-used during the software development process, thereby accelerating the time to market. | | Improving software quality | VMLogix LabManager makes it easy for various software configurations to be tested. In fact, software test teams will no longer need to make trade-off evaluations between test cases that need to be executed. They can now very easily create test beds to execute cases, share lab configurations & resources among team members and capture bug snapshots to be shared with the development team. With better test coverage, seamless integrations with leading test and build tools from HP & IBM and the easy ability to share bug states, software teams can be confident of improved software quality. | Why VMLogix LabManager? Best Automation Capability- Save time with automated setting up and tearing down of multimachine configurations with a single click on-demand.
