VMLogix LabManager 3.8 Adds Support for VMware vSphere and VMware vCenter
Server, and Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2
PALO ALTO, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
VMLogix, Inc., a provider of virtual machine management solutions designed for
software companies and IT organizations, today announced the newest version of
their flagship product, VMLogix LabManagerTM 3.8. The new release adds
capabilities for network policy configurations and deployment within IP zones
across multiple virtual hosts. This release also adds support for VMware vSphere
4 virtualization infrastructure and integration with VMware vCenter Server,
formally VMware VirtualCenter, as well as extended support for Microsoft Hyper-V
Server 2008 R2. 

"Products such as VMLogix LabManager 3.8 enable customers to leverage VMware`s
management console capabilities such as vMotion, which is a value add to users
of vSphere and vCenter," said Theresa Lanowitz, founder and CEO of voke, inc.
"As the virtualization market continues to mature and expand, an increasing
number of organizations are using hybrid hypervisor environments. LabManager`s
ability to deploy virtual labs across multiple virtualization platforms offers
choice while still ensuring centralized management functionality." 

VMLogix LabManager allows development, test and support teams to build,
snapshot, share and deploy production-like environments on-demand across
virtualization platforms. With LabManager, customers can consolidate and
automate lab IT infrastructure in order to deliver and maintain software
applications more quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. Companies can
dramatically reduce the manual effort, time and IT resources required to develop
and maintain higher quality software applications by using comprehensive
automation capabilities, advanced team management and seamless integrations with
leading solutions from HP and IBM. 

"VMLogix continues to develop and innovate with functionality for our virtual
lab management products. We also continue to make it our priority to provide
extensive support for leading virtualization platforms from VMware and
Microsoft," said Sameer Dholakia, CEO of VMLogix. "Our newest release offers
capabilities that make it even easier for organizations to integrate their
virtual labs into their infrastructure as well as manage virtual machine
instances within their deployment." 

New features of VMLogix LabManager 3.8 include:

* Support for VMware vCenter Server 4.0 and VMware vSphere: integrating with
VMware vCenter Server 4.0, LabManager supports a lab with VMware vSphere or
VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 hypervisors on the virtual hosts. The support
for vCenter Server in LabManager allows administrators to benefit from platform
management capabilities such as vMotion, DRS, HA and resource pools. 
* Updated support for Microsoft Hyper-V (Windows Server 2008 R2): extending
platform support functionality, taking advantage of Hyper-V R2`s new shared
cluster capability. 
* Network policies in configurations: allowing users to set custom firewall
rules on the soft router in a configuration that allows virtual machines from
within a LabManager configuration to connect to external IP addresses, outbound
and inbound. 
* IP zones across multiple hosts: enabling IP-zoned LabManager configurations to
be deployed across multiple virtual hosts.
