Attachmate
Attachmate Uses VMware Lab Manager to Improve Product Quality, Reduce Costs Associated with the Test Labs, and Increase Collaboration among Groups in the Development Organization
"On average, our lab users save 10 to 20 hours a week on configuring and tearing down their own test machines. With VMware Lab Manager, we have increased collaboration among our teams (Test Engineers, Developers, Technical Support, etc) and reduced the response time to resolve customer issues. In addition, we have saved on hardware costs to replace obsolete machines and test our products on Vista. Our lab is no longer overheating and limiting us from producing higher quality products."

Avaya Streamlines Test Lab with VMware Virtual Lab Manager
"We've become hugely reliant on Lab Manager to help us test our software better and faster. Ultimately, we've found VMware not only offers invaluable tools, but a way of life."
Banco Sabadell
”La entidad financiera ha mejorado sus tiempos de aprovisionamiento de servidores pasando de semanas a horas, con la consiguiente reducción de costes y el aumento de la satisfacción del usuario final.”
bioMérieux
“Face à un marché mondial très concurrentiel, nous sommes continuellement à la recherche de solutions et d’outils nous permettant d’être les plus compétitifs possible. Avec VMware LabManager, nous avons réussi à optimiser nos ressources humaines grâce à un gain de temps considérable dans la conception informatique de nos instruments de diagnostic. Ce précieux avantage nous donne ainsi une souplesse et une réactivité majeure vis-à-vis des demandes de nos clients.”
Bobst Group SA
Bobst Group SA Reduces Costs, Increases Flexibility, and Adjusts to Business Needs by Virtualizing with VMware Lab Manager
"Our challenge was to have a centralized test lab that could be managed from anywhere in the world but only physically managed in one spot. During year 2007, Bobst Group SA fully implemented VMware infrastructure 3 and once you have a complete virtual environment, you can rethink the way of managing your production environment."
Borland Software Corporation
VMware Infrastructure Enables Multiple Virtual Machines To Run On A Single Physical Server, Enabling The Business To Test Applications Concurrently Across A Range Of Operating System And Database Environments
“VMware virtualization has enabled us to quickly and accurately test different versions of our products in multiple environments without acquiring new hardware.”
Devis (Development InfoStructure, Inc.)
Transform The JBoss Architecture With VMware Technology, Consolidating Servers And Improving Both Application Manageability And Customer Service
“By migrating JBoss to run on VMware VMs, we not only consolidated servers, we isolated the applications that run on JBoss. That means we can individually customize them for clients--without having to worry about any negative side effects impacting other customers.”
Genilogix
Genilogix Bases Its Full Range of Products and Services on VMware Virtualization Technology.
“Unlike virtual software from other vendors, VMware ESX Server installs directly on the bare metal of the server, so it isn’t vulnerable to any instabilities of the operating system. It gives us excellent performance—up to 22 percent better response time.”
Georgian College
Use VMware Software to Add Virtual Instead of Physical Machines, Processing the Workload of 25 Physical Servers with Less Than Half that Number
“The initial driver for virtualization was cost avoidance: we were able to do the work of 25 servers with just 12. Besides maximized hardware utilization, minimized disruptions, and the ability to consolidate and share resources, probably the biggest benefit I see from virtualization is saving a considerable amount of time, thanks to simplified management.”
GSD&M Idea City
Idea City Deployed The Accellion Secure File Transfer Virtual Appliance, Running On VMware Infrastructure 3, To Easily Transfer Even Files As Large As 20GB.
“As per our hardware leasing strategy, every piece of hardware over $500 has to be on a lease. So every physical piece of hardware gets reconfigured every three years, and re-associating software applications with new hardware can be very taxing for us. But virtual appliances don’t have that problem — they can move from physical host to physical host without any issues.”
IBM
IBM implemented VMware Lab Manager, which builds on VMware Infrastructure 3 environments by automating the rapid setup and replacement of complex multimachine software configurations.
“Thanks to automation features alone in VMware Lab Manager, we’re saving two hours per person per build-verification test. Without VMware, this dramatically improved efficiency would not be possible.”
La Caixa
““la Caixa” apuesta por las tecnologías de virtualización de VMware como método para aumentar la eficiencia de sus infraestructuras con una contención del gasto.”
PracticeWorks
PracticeWorks Implemented a “Virtual Appliance First” Policy for VMware-Certified Virtual Appliances. This Policy Takes Advantage of the Faster and Easier Deployment and Management That Virtual Appliances Offer
“Virtual appliances make our IT management and software configuration a whole lot simpler. They avoid many hidden IT costs, especially the specialized labor costs of traditional software and the maintenance costs of hardware appliances.”
Princeton Softech, Inc.
VMware Virtual Infrastructure Helped Princeton Softech Constrain Its Testing Hardware Costs, While VMware Lab Manager Alleviated the Labor Crunch for Provisioning Testing and Development Environments
“Before acquiring VMware Lab Manager, we didn’t have the versatile, on-demand environment we needed. Virtualization helped, but even then, requiring IT support to provision specific environments created bottlenecks. Lab Manager allows us to support as many ERP and CRM environments as possible to satisfy the needs of our engineering talent and to achieve our business objectives.”
Ravensdown
VMware Virtualization Delivered Nz$200,000 In Savings On An Infrastructure Refresh While Meeting Business Requirements And Reducing Environmental Impact
"We chose VMware because it offered a production-ready virtualization tool, whereas products from Xen and Microsoft had not been ‘real-world’ tested.”
Rockford Public Schools
RPS Engaged VMware And Data Strategy For Its IT Strategy And Realized Many Savings: Several Hours Each Time It Implemented New Applications, Physical Server Space By Consolidating Five Racks Of Servers To Two Racks, The Ability To Easily Monitor Their Systems And Remove Computer Viruses
“We used VMware on the server side and our experience with it was great – which persuaded us to try it for desktops. VMware partnered with us and met our most important consideration in choosing a partner - understanding our best interests as a school district. VMware has proven that it cares about the quality of its products and its implementation, which allows us to build a great working relationship.”
Russell Investment Group
VMware Virtual Infrastructure Methodology Enables Russell Investment Group to Set up Scalable Lab Infrastructure
"Our business proposition to our clients is very strong. We've grown over the last 10 years and will continue to grow. The only way we can keep up on the technology side is to put tools like this in place so we're much more flexible, agile, and quicker to respond to our business needs."
Scientific Technologies Corporation (STC)
VMware Lab Manager Has Helped STC Compress Test Cycles, Drastically Shrink Testing Hardware Requirements, and Efficiently Support a Rapidly Growing Development Organization Without Increasing Support Headcount
“VMware Lab Manager has allowed our test and development team to simulate multiple client environments with a very small server footprint. We can also very quickly deploy new setups in a few minutes that normally could take hours to a full work day.”
SETAO
SETAO Produces Its Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) Using vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM)
“vCenter Site Recovery Manager (SRM) offers the benefit of being customized for the virtual infrastructure installed and of facilitating quick and simple implementation, thus providing a proper safeguard for our company’s assets.”
The Pensions Regulator
“VMware as a solution is very cost-effective and enables fast deployment of new systems, and provides high availability and failover for those applications as standard. Effectively, VMware has given us the ability to treat our IT infrastructure – including outsourced elements – as a large pool of resources which we can provision as business demand dictates, moving workloads between machines and even physical locations on the fly.”
