VMware virtual infrastructure is used broadly to run multiple environments concurrently for development and testing, to set-up and tear down environments easily, to optimally harness resources and software environments across teams and projects and to leverage the same virtualized environment from development to QA to staging to production. VMware plans to incorporate technology obtained in connection with its acquisition this week of Akimbi Systems, Inc. into its software lifecycle solutions to enable users to automate the set-up, capture and teardown of complex, multi-machine software configurations on a shared centralized pool of virtual resources and to rapidly configure those resources, on demand, through an intuitive self-service interface. By doing so, VMware intends to enable developer, quality assurance and IT organizations to shave months off of software development projects, reduce development and test equipment costs and dramatically increase the quality of delivered software systems. VMware's virtual lab automation, configuration management, and self-service provisioning solution is expected to be available as a beta release in the third quarter of this year.
