VMware Stage Manager Beta Released
The report from yellow-bricks.com that I posted on last week of a new VMware beta product called Stage Manager has officially been announced. I just received an email from VMware:
Dear Rich,
We’re pleased to announce the availability of VMware Stage Manager 1.0 Beta, the first management and automation system for pre-production infrastructure and operations.
VMware Stage Manager 1.0 allows IT organizations to visualize release processes, manage resources and system configuration changes, ensure consistency, and streamline the transition of IT services and business applications between life-cycle stages and into production.
VMware Stage Manager 1.0 empowers IT organizations to:
- reduce server sprawl and increase the resource utilization of IT services hosted on VMware Infrastructure
- create exact copies of production systems for pre-production integration and testing
- more easily enforce change and release management procedures
- accelerate the completion of change requests to production systems
- capture and archive any environment in any stage for auditing purposes

The VMware Team
