Web Portal For Self Service


Self-Service Web Management Console

Allow distributed development teams to easily create, manage, share, and deploy build and test configurations based on self-service policies, quotas, and user permissions.

Advanced Automation

Automate construction of production-like environments with end-to-end configuration of operating systems and applications. Use guest operating system operations and pre-packaged integrations with source code, build and test management tools to further reduce manual user effort.

User and Team Management Enable Collaboration in Software Development

Organize users and scope the sharing of artifacts by organizational, functional and project teams so that only relevant artifacts are displayed for each team member.


Centralized Lab Management


IP Zones

Allow multiple users to safely deploy concurrent copies of suspended multi-machine configurations without changing MAC addresses, static IP addresses or Windows SIDs.

Shared Snapshots

Capture and share "live" multi-machine configurations from the configuration library. Captured configurations preserve memory and CPU state and can be redeployed instantly.

Advanced Job Scheduling

VMLogix LabManager offers several options to manage multi-machine configuration deployments. Users can specify the priority of the job, specify the number of times a job is to be deployed, lease duration for a job and schedule a wait in the job deployment (i.e., a time after which the deployment is to occur)

Advanced Networking

VMLogix LabManager provides users with advanced network configuration capabilities with which users can easily create production-like network environments in the lab. Users can define multiple NICs in a VM and multiple private and public switches

Synchronized Multi-Machine Deployments

Deploy and synchronize multi-machine test scenarios without user intervention. Launch, suspend, resume, snapshot, revert, reset, showdown, capture, and share these deployments as a single encapsulated unit.

Image Builder

Build and rebuild multi-machine test configurations on-demand without manual user intervention.

Software and ISO Library

Build and share a central repository of operating systems and software media for easy provisioning into virtual machines.


Enterprise Class Management Solution

Virtualization Support

Use industry leading virtualization platforms from Microsoft, VMware and Citrix taking full advantage of the platform benefits.

Integration with Build and Test Automation Products

Automate build and test execution by leveraging advanced configuration of software, tools, scripts and data at the guest operating system level. Ready for IBM® Rational® Build Forge® and IBM Rational Quality Manager®.

Differential Image Storage

Make the most of shared storage with advanced compression algorithms. Optimize storage of virtual machines using linked clones and differential disks.

License Management

Monitor and enforce compliance of software and operating system license usage on build and test machines.

Security Controls and Audit Trails

Ensure system integrity with strict authentication, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit trails.

Advanced LDAP/AD

VMLogix LabManager allows administrators to organically populate the user database by mapping one or more LDAP/AD servers to LabManager. OUs can also be mapped to LabManager teams.

Reporting

VMLogix LabManager administrators have access to a host of reports (charge back reports, host use reports, job execution reports etc.) for each individual entity such as a host for a specified time duration. These reports can be got in either graphical or tabular formats.

Monitoring Hybrid Storage Support

VMLogix LabManager administrators can map multiple storage types (such as iSCSI, FC, NFS, SMB, Local), monitor the storage usage and link storage to one or more hosts.

Global Multi-Site Development Support

Replicate, synchronize and share configuration libraries among multiple teams, locations, and outsourcing partners. Use fine-grained access controls to scope resource ownership by user, team, business unit, or company.

Automation APIs

Integrate LabManager with existing tools and programmatically control all operations using XML/RPC and command- line interfaces.

Remote Multi-machine Console Viewers

View and interact with multi-machine test environments using VNC in a single browser window or Microsoft Remote Desktop.
