Lab Management

Getting control of your lab environment
Due to their dynamic nature, virtualization is a natural fit for development and test labs. Change is inevitable in most lab environments. New machines are constantly being provisioned in order to support new development or to test different configurations or releases. Unless administrators are careful, the number of virtual machines allocated can quickly spiral out of control with administrators having no idea if resources are in use, abandoned, or out of specification.

How Virtual Resource Manager helps
DynamicOps Virtual Resource Manager helps IT administrators quickly respond to the ever-changing needs of lab environments. In addition, it tracks the status of virtual resources throughout their life. The following VRM capabilities allow companies to effectively and efficiently manage their virtual desktop infrastructures: 

1. Self service portal – VRM provides a central library of virtual machine configurations that can be set up and configured in minutes 
2. Automatic resource reclamation – virtual machines are automatically reclaimed upon lease expiration. 
3. On-demand reprovisioning – virtual machines can easily be restored to their original “clean” configurations
4. Cloning - Standard builds can be shared and problem configurations analyzed
