IT and Operations

VMLogix enables IT departments to consolidate and automate lab IT infrastructure so that virtualized labs can be shared on-demand among multiple teams with minimal system administration and monitoring. With VMLogix LabManager, IT staff can empower development, test and support teams to build, snapshot, share and deploy production-like environments on-demand. Using advanced team management, quotas, reporting and audit trails, IT departments can run the lab in auto-pilot mode, intervening only when exceptions occur or when lab hardware and software resources need to be added or modified.

IT and Operations

As organizations grow globally and new hardware and software technologies emerge, enterprises, ISVs and SMBs find it increasingly difficult to keep the lab up to date, efficient, and effective. To improve processes in the test lab and to reduce the total cost of ownership, many organizations have turned to virtualization to create test labs that can maximize the use of limited physical resources and provide an environment that can be flexible enough to setup up and tear down test environments.
Virtual lab automation is a management system for automating the recurrent and labor-intensive manual tasks necessary in software testing, allowing processes and infrastructure to be streamlined and centrally managed. VLA ensures rapid, highly repeatable, resource-optimized deployments of complex, multi-machine build, test, and pre-production environments across virtual machines.


Features for Developers and Testers


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.

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.
