That’s a good sign as many people (wrongly in my opinon) were belly aching that no every single high-level management product was compatiable with the new platform. New to Lab Manager 4.0 is cross-network fencing. A network feature that’s been long discussed since VMworld TSX in Canne in 2007. Basically, its like a PVLAN impleament - in that you can have VMs with the same IP/same name on the same network without conflicting with each other. I’m really interested in this feature - because it might be away forward for DR solutions where re-IPing VMs and making sure there not unintend network conflicts during the test of recovery plans… It also seems that a prediction many people (including myself) made about 2 years ago has come true. That “Stage Manager” and “Lab Manager” have jumped into bed, got each other pregnant and had a shot-gun wedding. Yep, they’ve come together as one product. It was always quite tenious argument separating the two, and even harden VMware Vets like me stuggled to understand why there was a Lab Manager AND a Stage Manager.
