Surgient Takes Lab Management Forward

By P J Connolly

August 2, 2007 — One might be forgiven for believing that virtualization below the mainframe level begins and ends with VMware, but that’s simply not the case. Surgient expects to release version 5.3 of its tools for managing virtualized systems in August, with support for both VMware ESX Server 3 and for Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.

Surgient’s management tools focus on the different ways people use virtualized systems outside of the data center. VQMS—the company’s Virtual QA/Test Lab Management System—provides centralized control for development and test infrastructure, while the VTMS Virtual Training Lab Management System focuses on the requirements of hands-on lab environments for both classroom and online settings. Demonstration and evaluation setups are the province of VDMS, the Virtual Demo Lab Management System.

All three are being updated in version 5.3 with improvements to management, networking and reporting features. The new NAIL—as in network abstraction and isolation layer—Server permits complex networking of guest images without a management agent, while the updated firewall traversal and remote access features are designed to allow for the centralization of lab hardware while maintaining global availability.

Management and reporting improvements include updated calendaring and resource reservation features and customized information extraction for the support of other business intelligence tools.

Surgient also announced in late June that Hewlett-Packard had begun to resell VQMS, as an integrated component of its own Quality Center tool set.
