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."

— Yens Stellar, Lab Manager

Avaya

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."

— Jay M. Leone,

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."

— Christian Rieder, System Engineer/Architect

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.”

— Nate Stuyvesant, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Partner

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.”

— Arlene McDonald, Manager, IT Operations

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.”

— Paul McGrail , Systems Management Specialist

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.”

— Brian Denton , Vice President and Chief Information Officer

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.”

— Jim Rhodes , VMware Administrator

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."

— Scott Gray , Systems Integration Manager

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.”

— Chris Heil , Senior QA Engineer

上海通用汽车有限公司 (Shanghai GM Corporation, Ltd)

VMware Lab Manager助上海通用汽车实现统一部署管理

"我们通过采用VMware Lab Manager,在应用层面上,有效对原来的虚拟化平台进行了拓展,使得我们在开发测试过程中,实现了统一的安装和管理,并大大提高了开发过程中的安全性,保证了开发人员轻松地应用系统测试环境,并缩短了产品开发周期。”

— 陈颖剑, 信息系统部总监

中国电信股份有限公司上海研究院 (China Telecom)

VMware帮助上海电信研究院部署灵活的测试环境

我们通过采用这一全球领先的技术,充分感受到虚拟化技术带来的好处,使得我们大大提高了对服务器的管理,也便于我们部署很多新的应用,大大提高了我们的工作效率。”
