Using VMware Stage Manager
Use VMware Stage Manager in enterprise environments to streamline and simplify IT service delivery, patch testing and historical archiving.
IT Service Delivery
With VMware Stage Manager, you can automate the delivery of IT services using point-and-click promotion of software configurations between the stages of the release process. You don’t need to reconfigure, reinstall your software, because VMware Stage Manager makes it easy to deploy service configurations to resource pools associated with stages of the release process during pre-production and production. It’s all automatic.
Patch Testing
VMware Stage Manager reduces the risk associated with changing production systems by allowing you to make an exact copy of a production service and deploy that production clone in a resource pool associated with an earlier stage in the release process. There, you can test patches before pushing the new patched system back into production, or apply the patch directly in production after it has been verified. This feature reduces the risk of unplanned downtime when changing production environments.
Historical Archiving
VMware Stage Manager simplifies historical archiving and provides you with the ability to quickly restore entire service configurations from the archive in case of an audit. Simply select “Archive Now” to save a replica of a system in a highly efficient storage format. VMware Stage Manager also keeps an audit trail of all system changes and service operations that can be used to ensure regulatory or IT process compliance.
