VMware

Create and manage a library of commonly used configurations and dynamically provision them in seconds with a simple mouse click. VMware Lab Manager gives users on-demand access to system configurations they need while achieving significant savings through reduced server, storage, and provisioning costs.

 

Create and Maintain a Shared Virtual Machine Image Library

Provision with a single mouse click, and easily create lab environments for customers, partners and development, all while cutting costs and improving uptime.

Automate the Setup, Capture, Storage and Sharing of Multi-machine System Configurations

With its shared image library and shared pool of virtualized servers, VMware Lab Manager lets you efficiently store and share multi-machine configurations across teams and geographies.

VMware Lab Manager simplifies lab administration in a multi-user environment with customizable roles, access rights and dedicated or shared resource pools.

Rapidly Provision any Environment with a Single Click

Provision even the most complex multi-tier system and network configurations nearly instantly with VMware Lab Manager. Give users self-service access to the image library, allowing them to fulfill their own provisioning needs while leaving IT in control of user management, storage quotas and server deployment policies—achieving the best of both worlds.

Plus, your helpdesk organization will be able to close tickets more quickly and increase responsiveness and customer satisfaction by giving every support engineer the ability to rapidly deploy software releases and recreate customer environments.
 
VMware Lab Manager and VMware Infrastructure 3 are also the perfect solution for hosting providers looking for a scalable, highly available and managed infrastructure. Rapid provisioning and efficient use of server and storage resources in a virtualized environment offer competitive advantages for cost-sensitive service providers.

"The new organizational capabilities in VMware Lab Manager 3.0 will help us better enforce role-based access rights to system configurations in the lab according to our IT policy. We can now roll out virtual lab infrastructure to hundreds of more engineers as well as our training and support teams, and manage it from a central location."

– Tony Anastasios, Technology Architect, Cerner

Optimize Application Development and Testing

VMware Lab Manager enables application development and test teams to create and deploy even the most complex multi-tier system and network configurations on demand in a matter of seconds.

QA engineers can capture test configurations “in state” in the library and share them with developers in local or remote locations to eliminate guesswork when trying to troubleshoot and resolve defects.

Integrations with leading test management, build automation tools and custom scripts through the VMware Lab Manager API provide additional automation benefits.

  • Demo Environments: Sales engineers, product managers and trade show staff can set up, capture and reset virtual machine configurations for demo environments in seconds. VMware Lab Manager allows for simultaneous deployment of identical machines with no risk of network conflicts. Users can access demo lab resources remotely through a secure connection to the corporate network, making your demo equipment portable and available around the clock.
  • Hands-on labs: Set up, tear down and configure lab infrastructure for hands-on training classes, and quickly create and deploy virtual machines to students before each class. Being able to scale a training environment with the number of participants reduces infrastructure cost and increases the effectiveness of the training service being offered.

Increase Uptime while Reducing Capital and Operating Costs

Protect your lab infrastructure from hardware failures and increase quality of service for lab users by taking full advantage of high availability and distributed resource scheduling capabilities only available.

VMware Lab Manager lets you pool and share resources to meet the needs of users resulting in maximum utilization—and increased cost savings.

Provide Lab Access to Outsourcing Partners

With VMware Lab Manager, your outsourcing partners can remotely access your software lab in a secure environment that you control. IT administrators get the flexibility to quickly add, remove or replace outsourced resources as the business needs of the organization change.

Strong access control helps to keep intellectual property secure in the VMware Lab Manager environment while eliminating time-consuming and costly replication of equipment in your partners’ lab.
