Transform Your Business-Critical IT Processes

Imagine a seamless software lifecycle process - and envision the advantages it yields. Delivering and managing new and enhanced software systems is how IT delivers business value. VMware software lifecycle automation solutions help you do it faster and better, unifying teams and streamlining processes from development through production.

Streamline Your Software Lifecycle

From development and test, through integration, staging, deployment and management, VMware offers a comprehensive framework for virtual software lifecycle automation that streamlines these adjacent yet often disconnected processes, and closes the loops between them.

• Share software configurations between distributed development centers reducing duplicative provisioning



• Provide remote lab access and desktop hosting for offsite or offshore development resources, minimizing duplication of lab equipment at each site



• Close the loop between software development and quality assurance - capture and move defect state configurations; reproduce and resolve defects on demand



• Clone a configuration in production using VirtualCenter and effortlessly move it back to a Lab Manager environment for security patch testing by QA



• Push a staged configuration into production following user acceptance testing - minimizing errors injected rebuilding systems for production



• Migrate running configurations between data centers or physical resources to recover from failures, ensuring business continuity

Whether you're a single developer or part of a large, globally distributed software team, improve your software development through every stage of the lifecycle. As an individual developer or QA professional, you can enhance your own development efforts with VMware Workstation. As part of a larger organization, use a multi-datacenter deployment of Virtual Infrastructure Enterprise with multiple instances of Lab Manager and VirtualCenter providing process support across the entire software lifecycle and across the globe.

Regardless of the size of deployment, VMware software lifecycle automation solutions leverage the power of VMware Infrastructure to ensure that critical business processes can deliver competitive advantage to your organization.

Gain tremendous efficiency through server consolidation and increased utilization of your data center resources while you lay the foundation for fundamental enhancements to your software lifecycle process. Building on VMware Infrastructure, VMware Lab Manager, VMware VirtualCenter and VMware Workstation work together to form the industry's only complete, closed-loop system for software lifecycle automation.
