VMLogix, Inc., a leading provider of virtual lab automation solutions that help software companies and IT organizations leverage virtualization to consolidate lab infrastructure and automate build and test processes, today announced that VMLogix LabManager 3.6 won the Gold award in the Lab Management and Workflow Automation category of the SearchServerVirtualization.com 2008 Products of the Year awards. These awards are conducted annually and are presented and judged by the editors of TechTarget’s Data Center and Virtualization Media Group. Products are judged based on ease of integration into existing environments, functionality, innovation, manageability, performance and value. The award recognizes companies that the publication and its judges believe are best positioned to provide great products in 2009 and beyond.

“VMLogix LabManager stands out among other products for its robust hypervisor support offering, which is critical in today's dynamic virtualization environment,” according to SearchServerVirtualization.com 2008 Products of the Year judges. “For a VMware-based hypervisor, LabManager provides linked clone technology as well as enhanced management components that set it apart. Further, LabManager dabbles into lifecycle management slightly more than the rest of the field, making it our first choice.”

VMLogix LabManager is a best-in-class solution that enables software companies, SMBs and enterprise IT organizations to leverage virtualization to consolidate and automate lab IT infrastructure in order to deliver and maintain software applications more quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. VMLogix LabManager allows development, test and support teams to build, snapshot, share and deploy production-like environments on-demand across Citrix, Microsoft and VMware virtualization platforms. Companies 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 solutions from HP and IBM.

“We are pleased that VMLogix LabManager is recognized by SearchServerVirtualization.com as the most robust solution and a product to watch in 2009,” said Sameer Dholakia, CEO of VMLogix. “Receiving the 2008 Product of the Year award further validates how best-in-class features combined with a hypervisor-agnostic architecture has enabled VMLogix LabManager to continue to lead the virtual lab automation space.”
