VMware Studio, the industry's leading virtual appliance authoring tool, is an integrated development system that packages software applications into virtual appliances and vApps that are ready to run and optimized for VMware product platforms and the cloud. vApps are software solutions optimized for the cloud, consisting of multiple virtual machines, packaged and maintained as a single entity in industry standard Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
Reduce Development Costs by Building Virtual Applications
VMware Studio 2.0 helps ISVs, developers and IT professionals to author, configure, deploy and customize virtual appliances and vApps. It is a free product and is available as a virtual appliance.
Support distributed, global teams. At each stage of the application lifecycle. ISVs and developers can code, build, and test applications with CollabNet TeamForge, deliver them as virtual appliances
Maintain quality in a virtual world. Periodically publish critical updates directly to deployed virtual appliances. Build update repositories in your virtual appliance that are made externally visible to end customers
Deliver your applications as cloud ready virtual appliances. Distribute through the VMware Virtual Appliance Marketplace.
Why VMware Studio and CollabNet?
The on-ramp to public and private cloud production
This unified development environment, which provides the developer the ability to incorporate VMware Studio in CollabNet TeamForge, is among the first to support distributed teams of application developers.
VMware and CollabNet jointly provide an end-to-end development environment that allows developers to not only code, build, and test software applications but also package them as cloud-ready virtual appliances. The complete environment makes it easier and faster for developers to create virtual appliances and deploy them in public or private clouds. With applications packaged as virtual appliances, the combined solution becomes an on ramp to production environments and public and private cloud deployment. It solves that application creation-to-production handoff dilemma.
Released this summer, VMware Studio 2.0 also provides the unique capability of not requiring developers to start building a virtual machine from scratch each time. An existing virtual machine built with VMware Studio 2.0 can serve as input for the next build, saving time when only the contents (or application mix) of a virtual machine are changing.
Virtual Appliance Authoring
- Use a web interface or a command line interface to build virtual appliances
- Perform content verification and integrity checks
- Customize the virtual appliance by bundling the logo, EULA, first-boot script and user management capabilities
- Build both Linux-based VMs and Windows-based virtual appliances and vApps, running single tier or multi-tier applications.
Simplified Management; advanced capabilities
- Seamlessly integrate Virtual appliances and vApps built with Studio into the industry's leading virtualization platform - VMware vSphere.
- Automatically update and centrally manage virtual appliances or vApps individually or in groups, reducing administration time and complexity.
- Leverage the advanced capabilities of running on VMware vSphere, including high availability, disaster recovery, and load balancing.
VMware Ready Virtual Appliance Validation
- Faster on-ramp to get appliance validated through the VMware Ready Virtual Appliance Program.
- Ensure all virtual appliances are in compliance with VMware's best practices around building virtual appliances.
- Simplify the application process for validation through Test Matrix for compatibility across VMware product line and ease-of-use in the customer experience with appliance
