Hi folks,

Is there a counterpart for VMware Labmanager in the opensource world?
Who has experience this?

Greetings,

Maarten

I'm not familiar with labmanager, what are you trying to do?

I have to make a proposal for a medical organisation. They like to have a test environment in a hetrogenous infrastructure. The data and applications are served in asp model. Supliers could use this test environment before a a new version will be implemented in this asp model. In this asp model are 7 to 8 different applications, they are all connected to each other with middelware and databases.

so are you looking to provide virtual servers for the server side of the apps (database, application services, http, etc), or to provide a VDI solution, virtualising the client PCs that will connect to the application servers? or maybe both?

First we have te make a a test environment on the server side (backoffice applications). 3d Party developer have to work with a (almost) exact copy of the product environment. Our second party, ASP provider , has to manage this. Roll out and roll back images.

Optional : VDI to test complete solution between server and applications on desktop.

Can't see a problem with doing that on KVM using RHEv or libvirt
