VMLogix Partners with Red Hat to Expand Virtualization Platform Support

VMLogix, Inc., a provider of virtual machine management solutions designed for software companies and IT organizations, today announced that VMLogix LabManager(TM) will support Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. This combined solution will offer enterprise-class virtual lab automation solution for Linux environments.

"Virtualization continues to prove its dominance as the defining technology of the 21st century. Virtual lab management solutions deliver immediate value and empower users with on-demand access to their infrastructure needs," said Theresa Lanowitz, founder of voke, Inc. "With the expanded competition and choice in hypervisors, many organizations are adopting multi-platform or platform-independent virtualization environments. Virtual lab solutions such as VMLogix that embrace multiple platforms provide organizations flexibility to manage complex environments."

This new partnership aims to allow customers to consolidate labs leveraging the KVM platform integrated into Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, and allows for the use VMLogix LabManager to automate lab IT infrastructure in order to deliver and maintain software applications more quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. Software development, test and support teams can dramatically reduce the manual effort, time and IT resources required to develop and maintain higher quality software applications by using comprehensive automation capabilities, advanced team management and seamless integrations with leading development tools.

"We are pleased that VMLogix will support Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization," said Navin Thadani, senior director, Virtualization Business at Red Hat. "Many software organizations -- ranging from ISVs, web start-ups, to Fortune 500 Enterprises building custom applications -- have been early adopters of virtualization in order to more easily centralize and manage their development and pre-production lab infrastructure. Our Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization customers will now have access to the powerful virtual lab automation capabilities from VMLogix."

"Our goal is to provide customers with choice and flexibility. VMLogix offers the only virtual lab automation solution that works with all leading virtualization platforms," said Sameer Dholakia, CEO of VMLogix. "By supporting KVM and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, we are ensuring companies who adopt our solutions the freedom to integrate whatever virtualization infrastructure works best for them."
