CollabNet Lab Management is a cloud-based service that allows companies to significantly reduce infrastructure costs while promoting development productivity and rapid innovation. Lab Management provides self-service provisioning to distributed development, test, and build teams.
Lab Management is tightly integrated with CollabNet’s market leading solution for Agile Application Lifecycle Management–CollabNet TeamForge®. Working in tandem, Lab Management and TeamForge facilitate the modeling and enforcement of organizational structures and relationships (such as outsourced teams, contractors, or partners) with a rich role-based access framework.
Elastic Provisioning of Systems for Development, Build, and Test
Using Lab Management, geographically distributed teams can reserve a set of physical or virtual systems from a central pool of resources and rebuild these systems according to any pre-defined build and test configuration. Once build and test activities are completed, the reserved systems are released back into the shared pool of resources for immediate re-provisioning.
Centralized Management and Reuse of Build Components
CollabNet Lab Management provides a fully searchable and secure central repository of systems and software configurations to facilitate standardization and reuse. Cross-project access is controlled with permission to assets.
Improved Visibility and Alignment with Rich Project Portals
System utilization can be monitored in real-time or in summary reports, by project, user, or system. Underutilized or unallocated systems from the global resource pool can be quickly identified.
Centralized Management of System Profiles
Profiles can be tracked and versioned so that previously configured systems can be re-created at any point to easily test new code, revert to previous configurations, and compare system versions.
"We've been using CollabNet's products to optimize our software development teams for over three years and been very successful. We believe Lab Management can also enhance that process even further," said Martin Ashton, vice president of global IT process at Reuters. "We're very excited to see how Lab Management's new virtualization and cross-platform capabilities could assist us in achieving increased time to market efficiency."

"Incremental procurement over the years to meet specific needs, coupled with mergers and/or acquisitions, has left many companies with thousands of servers scattered across many locations-often running at 20% or less capacity. With multiple operating system platforms, databases, and other software, the ongoing support costs are staggering."
