VMware Lab Manager provides a browser-based remote-control view of a machine console, giving you desktop access of all remotely deployed machines. A user can even see all machines in a configuration, side-by-side on a single configuration console page.

With a single mouse click, users can “check out” and instantly deploy configurations from the VMware Lab Manager library, a central repository for "live" captures of your reference platforms, target systems, historical releases, and customer production environments.

VMware Lab Manager provides a real-time, graphical view of the shared server pool, giving administrators a bird’s eye view of all deployed virtual machines, available capacity, resource utilization, and enabling drilldown by physical server or virtual machine for detailed analysis.

VMware Lab Manager makes it easy to manage users, their roles, permissions and resource quotas. In addition, VMware Lab Manager provides out-of-the-box integration with Microsoft Active Directory and other LDAP-accessible directory servers.
