VLAB Enterprise

VLAB Enterprise is the VLAB product solution for the ultimate access to VLAB virtualization across the entire customer enterprise, including access to any supported embedded target architecture, on any number of hosts, by any number of concurrent interactive users, and of any number of concurrent run time instances, running independently or interconnected as systems.

The scale of VLAB Enterprise concurrent use and performance are limited only by the licensed host capacity, in the number of physical host CPU cores across the enterprise, licensed for use with VLAB Enterprise.

There are no pre-requisites and anyone anywhere in the customer enterprise can become a VLAB user, launch and use any number of VLAB instances on any machine in the enterprise, as long as the total number of host CPU cores in use at any one time is within the number licensed.

A VLAB Enterprise license starts at a minimum number of host CPU cores. Additional capacity can be purchased and upgraded at any time and for any period.

Any VLAB Enterprise user has access to the complete set of features available to a VLAB Workstation user, including all interactive user IDE tools and all run time tools. A VLAB Enterprise user can launch a VLAB session on their desktop, where they can set up, configure, launch and run any number of concurrent VLAB instances, interactively prepare and debug their target software builds and their tests, configure their VDMs, integrate with the target software and then farm out and run as many VDMs and tests in parallel on their desktop and/or on any other host in the enterprise. All VDMs may be the same, running the same software image, or each can be differently configured, with a different hardware architecture configuration, running a different software image, and executing a different test, individually or in groups.

VLAB VDMs launched and running on any host, be that a desktop, a server, or in the cloud, will run like any other virtual machine and can be used, via their I/O connections, by any number of end users, or consumers, including interactive users or other processes and test environments.

VLAB Enterprise comes in two editions, Express and Suite. Express supports a simple Configure, Load, Run, I/O, Stop, Pass/Fail workflow and use cases, and excludes the VLAB advanced tools. Suite provides unlimited access to all VLAB advanced tools, including run time built-in tools and user interactive tools, for uniquely powerful and scriptable on the fly debug, data acquisition, profiling, test, and analysis of target software and hardware state and execution.
