Visualize, Manage and Automate Release Processes
Manage all service configurations in your enterprise from a single viewpoint, and streamline IT service delivery, patch testing and archival.
Minimize risk associated with releasing new or updated systems into production. VMware Stage Manager uses virtual machines as standardized software containers to run IT services and business applications on VMware Infrastructure. You can quickly and consistently transition service configurations through the stages of the release process –integration, testing, staging and user acceptance testing – into production.
VMware Stage Manager gives you a single viewpoint for managing all service configurations running in the enterprise. It inherits resource pools from VMware VirtualCenter and dynamically assigns them to particular services and stages, giving you unprecedented control over the use of datacenter resources.
- Manage and automate the change, configuration and release processes for production-bound software systems.
- Visualize, organize and streamline resources needed for pre-production and service transition activities.
- Reduce server sprawl and increase the resource utilization efficiency of IT services hosted on VMware Infrastructure.
- Ensure all environments used for pre-production integration and testing are exact copies of current production systems
Use VMware Stage Manager in enterprise environments to streamline and simplify IT service delivery, patch testing and historical archiving:
- IT Service Delivery: Automate IT service delivery using point-and-click promotion of software configurations between the stages of the release process. No need to reconfigure, reinstall your software.
- Patch Testing: Reduce the risk associated with changing production systems. VMware Stage Manager makes an exact copy of a production service and deploys that production clone in a resource pool associated with an earlier stage in the release process, where you can test patches before pushing changes into production.
- Historical Archiving: Simplify archiving and quickly restore entire service configurations from archives in case of an audit. Simply select “Archive Now” to save a replica of a system in a highly efficient storage format. VMware Stage Manager also keeps an audit trail of all system changes and service operations for regulatory or IT process compliance.
