Manufacturer description

Building on VMware Infrastructure, VMware Lab Manager enables software developers and QA engineers to suspend, then capture to a shared storage library, a complete state of "configurations" - or collections of running, interdependent computer systems that span multiple machines. Over time, organizations can build up a library of configurations, including test scenarios, production environments and customer system configurations. When a configuration in the library is needed later for development or test purposes, for example to test a new software build in the context of a customer production environment, VMware Lab Manager can instantly deploy the entire configuration to the best available resources in a pool of managed servers - exactly as it was captured, running and ready for use. Further, the network fencing technology of VMware Lab Manager lets multiple users deploy copies of the same library configuration simultaneously, without having to change machine characteristics such as IP addresses, MAC addresses, or security IDs - and yet still have full network access. Gathering machines, installing operating systems, installing and configuring applications, establishing inter-machine connections used to be a painstaking, multi-hour exercise. VMware Lab Manager reduces this process to a simple self-service provisioning task, accomplished with a single click of the mouse that literally takes only seconds. Although software developers and QA engineers can now fulfill their own provisioning needs, IT still remains in control of user management, storage quotas and server deployment policies - achieving the best of both worlds.
