Virtualization lab management (VLM) is no longer just for the testing lab. It is a defining technology that can increase productivity and lower expenses for traditional IT organizations, such as development, quality assurance, and operations, as well as a company’s sales team, customer support, marketing, technical publications, and training. voke predicts virtual lab technology will act as the hub of the modern application lifecycle and dismantle functional silos that are entrenched in today’s organizations.
From August 2009 to February 2010, voke conducted an independent survey of 100 organizations using virtual lab management technology. Our survey found that organizations are leveraging this technology in the testing lab and beyond to achieve a quick and measureable ROI.
“Virtual lab management continues to prove itself as a rare, real, breakthrough use of technology revolutionizing the computing industry and the enterprise,” said Theresa Lanowitz, lead analyst for voke, inc. “Virtualization remains the defining technology of the 21st century. VLM has proven to be immediately effective at containing costs, delivering efficiencies in the provisioning of lab equipment, and eliminating both perceived and real bottlenecks. The market potential for this technology has the opportunity to exceed the combined market penetration of hypervisor solutions and application lifecycle combined.”
The results of our second independent survey on virtual lab technology are published in “Market Snapshot™ Report: Virtual Lab Management.” This downloadable report, available to voke Research subscribers, focuses on VLM’s market readiness, awareness, use, benefits, and ROI.

Shatter silos with virtual lab management. Virtual lab management is poised to be the new hub of the modern application lifecycle. For the first time in the history of the application lifecycle, virtual lab management streamlines and connects the key barriers between the three pillars of IT: development, QA, and operations.
Virtual lab management provides development and QA with unlimited and instantly provisioned environments for testing and development without the bottleneck of operations. By providing operations with unlimited virtual environments to plan and prepare for a new application in production, time-to-market and value are significantly improved.
Delivering QA in an environment as close to production as possible for testing eliminates the back and forth tension between development and QA in defect replication. Virtual lab management facilitates automated build, integration, and testing on unlimited virtual platforms.
Virtual lab management extends into the support domain by easily replicating customer environments for defect replication and remediation. It is by virtue of this extension into the support area that the line of business and IT are further and more closely aligned.
voke predicts virtual lab management will be the hub of the modern application lifecycle and a major factor in breaking the operations bottleneck. The sweet spot of use for virtual lab technology is clearly in development, quality assurance, and operations groups. But the rapid return on investment and ease of use of the technology is expanding well beyond IT and to areas such as training, sales, marketing, systems engineering, and technical publications.
