    PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 6 -- VMware, Inc., the global leader in software for industry-standard virtualized desktops and servers, today introduced VMware Lab Manager, which enables enterprise software development organizations to more efficiently utilize software development and test lab assets, accelerate software development cycles and increase the quality of delivered software products.

    "VMware is committed to bringing products to market that harness the power and flexibility of VMware Infrastructure to transform and enhance our customers' most critical IT processes," said Dan Chu, vice president of emerging products and markets at VMware. "VMware Lab Manager leverages VMware Infrastructure to simplify and streamline the software lifecycle, automating the setup, capture, storage and sharing of multi-machine software configurations and making them available on demand to development and test teams through a self-service portal."

    VMware Lab Manager is optimized for use in the development, test and integration stages of an organization's software lifecycle process, complementing VMware VirtualCenter, which supports the production-oriented stages of the process: staging, deployment and management of production software systems. These products together leverage the power and flexibility of VMware Infrastructure to provide the only complete, closed-loop software lifecycle automation framework that enables efficient, bi-directional management and movement of complex multi-machine software configurations through all stages of the software lifecycle. Users of the product can be local or remote to the VMware Lab Manager installation, enabling customers with remote development and test teams to share lab assets and machine images.
