Implement a consistent, automated process for managing the
lifecycle of virtual machines in the data center, from provisioning
to operation to retirement. With VMware Lifecycle Manager, automate
the virtualization workflow to improve efficiency and productivity,
and ensure strict corporate compliance with company policies.
Reduce Costs and Management Overhead Through Automation
Track and control virtual machines through a consistent approval
process and use automation to reduce the cost of administering
and managing your virtual environment. VMware Lifecycle Manager
offers an easy-to-use Web interface for managing interactions
throughout the entire lifecycle of a virtual machine, from establishing
policies for virtual machines, to request and approval, to tracking
and decommissioning. The tool delivers on key business initiatives
and goals, helping you to:
- Standardize on and use best practices for tracking and
managing virtual machine deployment and use.
- Reduce costs through automating previously manual and
repetitive administrative tasks.
- Eliminate virtual machine sprawl.
- Enable reliable and sustainable corporate IT compliance.
- Leverage VMware VirtualCenter
and existing tools such as change management software and
IT Process/Runbook automation tools.
Ensure Accuracy of Virtual Machine Requests and Deployments
VMware Lifecycle Manager, once set up, starts with a user
making a request for a virtual machine. Each request is then
routed for approval within the organization. Once approved,
the virtual machine is deployed automatically—VMware Lifecycle
Manager has all the required information about what resources
the machine needs. This level of intelligence eliminates potential
manual errors as virtual machines are deployed to a pre-defined
and approved location. Finally, virtual machines are moved into
a decommission process that involves archiving and ultimately
deleting the virtual machine when it’s no longer needed.
Using VMware Lifecycle Manager
Track and control virtual machines through a consistent approval
process throughout the entire lifecycle. With VMware Lifecycle
Manager, administrators can:
- Standardize IT Services:
During setup, create a catalog of virtual machine templates
for users to view and select. These templates help users
determine the characteristics of available virtual machines
(machine size, memory, storage, backup services, etc.).
Also, define what types of approvals are required prior
to virtual machine deployment. This feature provides greater
control over what type of resources are deployed into the
IT environment.
- Associate Chargeback Metrics:
Associate chargeback metrics to specific virtual machine
deployments and resource pools, and assign those metrics
to specific business groups or financial systems.
- Streamline Request and Approval:
Establish a consistent and scalable mechanism with VMware
Lifecycle Manager to route and approve all requests for
virtual machines, and ensure policy compliance. Log into
VMware Lifecycle Manager and make a request for a virtual
machine and enter information to help VMware Lifecycle Manager
select the specific resources that best support the request.
Log back into VMware Lifecycle Manager any time to check
request status. Once submitted, requests are routed to the
Approver. If the request is approved, a virtual machine
is deployed automatically, based on the user-defined criteria
and the way in which IT has mapped those criteria to existing
computing resources.
- Track and Control Virtual Machines:
Tracking who owns virtual machines in a virtual environment
or keeping record of when they were created, deployed or
decommissioned can be challenging. VMware Lifecycle Manager
tracks virtual machine deployments with a Web-based request
log keeping an accurate record of when the requests are
made, approved or denied, when the machine was deployed
and how long it has been in operation.
- Decommission Virtual Machines:
Use VMware Lifecycle Manager to initiate the decommission
process, which consists of archiving and ultimately deleting
a virtual machine. VMware Lifecycle Manager provides better
resource utilization by ensuring resources come back into
the resource pool for future use. Virtual machines are decommissioned
based on the length of time they’re needed. VMware Lifecycle
Manager archives the virtual machine image prior to decommissioning
to enable low-cost storage.
VMware Lifecycle Manager Feature:
|
User:
- Easily request virtual machines and determine
request status through an easy-to-use self-service
portal.
- Access a catalog of existing virtual machines
with basic controls, including power on, shut

etc.
Approver:
- View and approve or reject requests detailed
information about any request and determine
whether to accept or deny the request.
|
IT Staff:
- Complete approved requests and decide where
virtual machines will be placed within the environment.
IT Administrator:
- Help users select the virtual machine configuration
that best meets their needs by creating a library
of pre-defined virtual machine templates.
- Set up key criteria for policy defined deployment
to be used to automatically place or configure
a virtual machine in an environment.
- Assign groups of users to specific virtual
machine resources based on established security
policies.
- Optimize resource pools and virtual machine
folders, and help associate chargeback metrics
to virtual machine deployments.
