VMware Releases Stage Manager 1.0

Almost a month after its original due date, VMware has released Stage Manager 1.0.

From the news release:

With VMware Stage Manager pre-production server sprawl, configuration drift and failed or delayed production releases are a thing of the past. VMware Stage Manager allows IT operations, service administrators and application owners to:

• Visualize services, system configurations and release processes
• Transition applications across the stages of the release process with a single mouse click
• Accelerate the completion of change requests to production systems
• Reduce server sprawl and resource requirements in pre-production
• Enforce IT policies and regulatory compliance
• Create and deploy clones of production systems for patch testing
• Archive and restore any environment at any stage for auditing purposes.
