VMLogix LabManager Features
|
VMLogix LabManager is an award winning virtual lab solution that
integrates with the world’s leading virtualization platforms to empower
development, test and support teams so they can build, snapshot, share
and deploy production-like environments on-demand.
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. Web Portal For Self ServiceSelf-Service Web Management ConsoleAllow distributed development teams to easily create, manage, share, and deploy build and test configurations based on self-service policies, quotas, and user permissions.Advanced AutomationAutomate 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 DevelopmentOrganize 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 ManagementIP ZonesAllow multiple users to safely deploy concurrent copies of suspended multi-machine configurations without changing MAC addresses, static IP addresses or Windows SIDs.Shared SnapshotsCapture and share "live" multi-machine configurations from the configuration library. Captured configurations preserve memory and CPU state and can be redeployed instantly.Advanced Job SchedulingVMLogix 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 NetworkingVMLogix 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 switchesSynchronized Multi-Machine DeploymentsDeploy 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 BuilderBuild and rebuild multi-machine test configurations on-demand without manual user intervention.Software and ISO LibraryBuild and share a central repository of operating systems and software media for easy provisioning into virtual machines.Enterprise Class Management SolutionVirtualization SupportUse industry leading virtualization platforms from Microsoft, VMware and Citrix taking full advantage of the platform benefits.Integration with Build and Test Automation ProductsAutomate 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 StorageMake the most of shared storage with advanced compression algorithms. Optimize storage of virtual machines using linked clones and differential disks.License ManagementMonitor and enforce compliance of software and operating system license usage on build and test machines.Security Controls and Audit TrailsEnsure system integrity with strict authentication, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit trails.Advanced LDAP/ADVMLogix 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.ReportingVMLogix 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 SupportVMLogix 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 SupportReplicate, 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 APIsIntegrate LabManager with existing tools and programmatically control all operations using XML/RPC and command- line interfaces.Remote Multi-machine Console ViewersView and interact with multi-machine test environments using VNC in a single browser window or Microsoft Remote Desktop. |
