VMware Stage Manager Public Beta

VMware, Inc. (www.vmware.com), the virtualization software leader, today announced the public beta of VMware Stage Manager, a new first-in-class management and automation product that streamlines and accelerates the process of bringing new or modified applications and other IT services into production.

By deploying VMware Stage Manager, IT administrators and application owners can:

• Manage pre-production infrastructure assets – servers, storage and networking equipment – utilizing them only when needed.
• Rapidly build up a pre-production image of complex production environments, even cloning directly from production systems to ensure that all environments are exact replicas.
• Systematically propagate complex system changes through all phases of the process while more easily enforcing change and release management procedures.
• Accelerate the completion of requests for changes to production systems.
