VMLogix LabManager support for Microsoft Hyper-V
Virtualization is widely used in the software development, test, pre-production and production environments. The adoption of virtualization receives a further boost with traditional Microsoft customers now willing to take the step forward. SMBs, ISVs and Enterprises adopting virtualization prefer not to be locked into any one virtualization platform vendor. The availability of Microsoft Hyper-V adds to the set of choices available to customers as they make a virtualization platform selection.

VMLogix LabManager + Microsoft Hyper-V ? A Powerful Combination!
VMLogix LabManager is a powerful test lab management application for the Hyper-V platform. The following are key benefits of using VMLogix LabManager in a Microsoft Hyper-V environment.
-
Enhance the value derived from Hyper-V: Hyper-V supports the use of virtualization for testing and consolidation. VMLogix LabManager brings natural management synergies to a hypervisor like Hyper-V, allowing users to get more from their hypervisor investments. Specifically, LabManager enables users to centralize lab management operations and processes, fosters a self-service environment for individual and multi-machine configurations, automates the setup of multi-machine configurations and optimizes storage utilization in the lab. LabManager provides these capabilites over and above a hypervisor like Hyper-V and these capabilities are not available in other management applications like Systems Center VMM.
-
Fold the use of Hyper-V into your lab management with no disruptions: VMLogix LabManager is hypervisor agnostic and supports Citrix, VMware and Microsoft hypervisors. Leverage this capability to effectively centralize your lab management and operations and bring into the fold other hypervisors already deployed in the lab to be used in concert with Hyper-V.
-
Benefit from VM image interoperability between Citrix and Microsoft: VMLogix LabManager is also Citrix certified, so you will be ready to benefit from any virtual machine image interoperability between the hypervisor vendors. This also provides the freedom and flexibility offered by choosing a VLA solution that supports multiple hypervisors.
-
Prepare as you get ready to use Hyper-V in the data center: Use Hyper-V in the test lab of your multi-tier applications prior to publishing them in the Hyper-V enabled production environment.
