Test Management Tool Adds Red Hat Support

But with the advent of virtualization, IT organizations have discovered that they can save massive amounts of money by consolidating all the servers used to support the application-development process. To help manage that process, VMLogix has added support for Red Hat’s virtual machine software to its virtual lab management software.

Although both VMware and Microsoft offer software that manages the application-development process on top of their virtual machines, VMLogix is providing a multi-platform approach in the form of a KVM tool that works across multiple virtual machine implementations on a broad range of application-testing platforms.

Since most IT organizations need to develop applications across multiple virtual machine environments, officials at VMLogix said they doubt customers will want to standardize their application-development process around one virtual machine platform. As such, they will require an integrated approach to managing the distribution of application workloads across a diverse set of testing platforms.

The VMLogix implementation for Red Hat is scheduled to be available next month.
