Introducing Lab Manager

VMware Lab Manager provides a robust solution for managing virtual machines in a
test lab. Lab Manager does not assume extensive knowledge of virtualization and
allows software developers and QA engineers to quickly provision, share, and tear
down multimachine test cases or configurations.
Specifically, Lab Manager streamlines the setup, capture, storage, and sharing of
multimachine software configurations in virtualized environments. Lab Manager
offers a self‐service interface and library from which users can access virtual machine
images to deploy across multiple servers.
