Citrix Embraces Virtual Lab Management and Acquires VMLogix
Citrix is acquiring VMLogix! For those who may be unaware of VMLogix, the company is the creator of products in the market segment known as “virtual lab management”. This is the part of virtualization that is going to transform the application lifecycle as we know it.
This acquisition is big news, especially for anyone that deals with getting software or applications to market on time, on budget, and with a high level of quality. I just realized, that sums up pretty much every business in the world, so why hasn’t VMLogix and its product category of virtual lab management taken the world by storm? We believe that virtual lab management is the biggest innovation for software to come to fruition since the introduction of the IDE (integrated development environment).
If you use virtual lab management technology in your organization it is guaranteed that you have saved your organization lots of money, lots of time, and have become the favorite technical professional of anyone you deal with.
Here is how virtual lab management can help save time and money and even create peace between developers and testers.
• Virtual lab management can help operations professionals get away from the tactical and time consuming task of provisioning physical hardware. This means less money spent on capital expenditures (read hardware), less time worrying about physical machines, and more time to work on more strategic initiatives.
• Virtual lab management can help developers easily replicate a defect discovered by testing. Testers know how fond developers are of saying “it works on my machine”. Virtual lab will allow developers to test in an environment as close to production as possible and easily replicate those pesky defects testers so frequently find. This will then lead to peace between developers and testers.
• Virtual lab management can help testers build out the perfect production-like test lab without spending exorbitant amounts on hardware, software, and infrastructure. There is no need to wait for provisioning of equipment, schedule scarce resources, and worry about exceeding capital budgets.
If you think this is too good to be true, visit www.vokeinc.com and listen to our free webcast series on “What Tool Should I Buy: Virtual Lab Technology” and hear from leading vendors in the market on “How to Justify the Purchase: Virtual Lab Technology”. We also have an in-depth piece of vendor neutral research “Market Snapshot: Virtual Lab Management” available to our subscribers.
Virtual lab management delivers a clear and quick ROI and can be used in an organization of any size and any vertical market. We know what virtualization technology has done for the data center; check out virtual lab technology to see what virtualization can do for the application lifecycle. In fact, voke predicts that virtual lab technology will be the hub of the modern application lifecycle.
Watch for Citrix to begin to set strategic directions for the application lifecycle. And, watch for Citrix and Microsoft to expand and strengthen an already strong and complementary industry partnership.
We have only begun to scratch the surface of what virtualization and cloud technology will enable and deliver to the market.
