VMLogix LabManager 3.8 Released

VMLogix has announced the newest version of their flagship product, VMLogix LabManager 3.8. The new release adds capabilities for network policy configurations and deployment within IP zones across multiple virtual hosts. This release also adds support for VMware vSphere 4 virtualization infrastructure and integration with VMware vCenter Server, formally VMware VirtualCenter, as well as extended support for Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2.

VMLogix LabManager allows development, test and support teams to build, snapshot, share and deploy production-like environments on-demand across virtualization platforms. With LabManager, customers can consolidate and automate lab IT infrastructure in order to deliver and maintain software applications more quickly, cost-effectively and reliably. Companies can dramatically reduce the manual effort, time and IT resources required to develop and maintain higher quality software applications by using comprehensive automation capabilities, advanced team management and seamless integrations with leading solutions from HP and IBM.

New features of VMLogix LabManager 3.8 include:

    * Support for VMware vCenter Server 4.0 and VMware vSphere: integrating with VMware vCenter Server 4.0, LabManager supports a lab with VMware vSphere or VMware Virtual Infrastructure 3 hypervisors on the virtual hosts. The support for vCenter Server in LabManager allows administrators to benefit from platform management capabilities such as vMotion, DRS, HA and resource pools.
    * Updated support for Microsoft Hyper-V (Windows Server 2008 R2): extending platform support functionality, taking advantage of Hyper-V R2’s new shared cluster capability.
    * Network policies in configurations: allowing users to set custom firewall rules on the soft router in a configuration that allows virtual machines from within a LabManager configuration to connect to external IP addresses, outbound and inbound.
    * IP zones across multiple hosts: enabling IP-zoned LabManager configurations to be deployed across multiple virtual hosts.

Business Transformation vs. SOA Transformation - Can I do Both? Corporations are transforming their business models in an attempt to increase revenue, operational efficiency and global competition by designing innovative business models and processes to be disruptive in their market space. In this keynote, recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, the Vice President of IBM's Global Solutions and Assets division says business leaders are looking for IT to provide and support the disruptive business models. However, the majority of IT's budget and resources are spent in maintenance leaving little time and resources for IT to be innovative and meet the business demands. In addition, many IT Corporations have adopted SOA in adhoc fashion and achieved some maturity in the technology. The key to aligning the IT objectives with the business objectives is a structured approach. Come hear about new ways to develop the required capabilities and prioritize the initiatives to create a Business and SOA transformation roadmap.

State of the Union - SOA Standards The author of the seminal book "Great Global Grid: Emerging Technology Strategies" discusses the current status of SOA-related standards and their applicability in this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008. This has been an active area over the last few years with multiple standards being developed and supported by different organizations. However there are still concerns about the complexity and maturity of SOA standards. The content will be based on Bob's recommendations for government agencies in the US and Asia. It will also include information from an "Emerging Standards for SOA" Session that Bob organized bringing together leading standards groups.

Software + Services: Fundamental Shifts in Platform Computing We are at the cusp of a big industry change. The way software is delivered and monetized is undergoing a fundamental shift. The multiple models for monetization are fundamentally shifting the software industry and business models. Traditionally software companies have made monies only in Licensing and now there are three additional models to monetize. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Srikanth Karnakota says software licensing is going to continue to exist and grow. Online advertising will grow. Online transactions and subscriptions will grow. But perhaps most importantly for a number of our partners, the amount of value that will be delivered by humans providing customization services, application development services, management services, hosting services, will also continue to grow, and so we see a big opportunity for our partners as we make this transformation to Windows and Windows Live and the new software plus service user interface and computing model.

Designing Reusable Service Interfaces One of the challenges of SOA is the development of services, which are reusable. Such services can participate in several different processes and orchestrations. Experienced architects are aware that designing and implementing reusable services is much harder task than implementing services for single use. In this talk recorded at Saltmarch Media's Business Technology Summit 2008, Matjaz B. Juric discusses best practices for designing reusable service interfaces. We will discuss the possibilities provided by WSDL. We will address the versioning issue, which becomes crucial when changing/modifying services in order to make them more reusable.
