Patented Technologies Form the Underpinnings of Surgient's Virtual Lab
Management Platform
AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Surgient, the market leader in
virtual labs that power solutions for software testing, training and
evaluation, today announced that it has been awarded three new patents from
the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Reinforcing its technical
leadership in the virtual lab management market, the three new patents
cover technologies that enable Surgient customers to better allocate,
manage and organize virtualized resources used to accelerate the software
development and delivery lifecycle.
The three patented technologies are key components of the Surgient
virtual lab management platform, providing organizations with enhanced
efficiency for all software delivery processes. Specifically, the patented
technologies help organizations better manage and coordinate the use of
virtual labs across both their physical and virtual infrastructures,
ensuring that IT resources are utilized to their fullest capacity.
"Since pioneering the virtual lab management market five years ago,
Surgient has remained dedicated to growing its technical leadership
position and developing new technologies that provide greater customer
value," said Tim Lucas, president and CEO, Surgient. "The patented
technologies act as the underpinnings of a number of our virtual lab
management capabilities, helping Surgient customers better manage their
virtual labs to ensure greater productivity gains across the application
lifecycle. We are very proud of our software development team and their
continued ability to deliver unique technologies that provide tremendous
value to our customers."
The three patents were awarded during the past year. The technologies
covered by the patents were developed entirely by Surgient's research and
development team. The patents include:
-- US Patent #6,990,666; "Near Online Server"-Describes a method for
providing fractional burst capacity in delivering virtual computing
resources from a centralized, shared server resource pool.
-- US Patent #7,257,584; "Server File Management"-Describes a method for
providing portability of virtual server "snapshots" across physical
server hosts. One of the underpinnings of Surgient's library management
server, this patented technology provides greater flexibility when
developing, managing and deploying virtual machine images.
-- US Patent #7,287,186; "Shared Nothing Virtual Cluster"-Describes a
method for organizing virtual machine resources for rapid recovery,
such as that required by advanced disaster recovery, reduced power
consumption or business continuity scenarios. Enables virtual machines
to dynamically move across physical hosts without requiring data to be
moved or copied.
These patents, along with previously granted Surgient patents,
reinforce the uniqueness of Surgient's virtual lab management platform and
associated applications, and its ability to deliver advanced manageability,
scalability and flexibility in the use of virtualization in the enterprise
IT environment.
