EdenTree Lab Manager controls 3rd party physical layer switches to which network lab resources are connected, creating a software-controlled switching infrastructure that replaces manual patch panels.

Lab Manager is the first off-the-shelf lab management solution that provides a single front-end application for managing test configurations in labs and automatically executing them through the management of multiple third party physical layer switches and power switches.

Through our partnerships with a wide range of leading switch manufacturers, the switching infrastructure may be custom configured to accommodate any number or combination of interface types, including POTS/analog/DSL, T1/E1, DS3/E3, any rate Ethernet, Optical, Fibre Channel, RF/Coax, and others.

Network devices are connected to one or more switches once, and then topologies are reconfigured either with a drag-and-drop GUI or automated scripts.

Multiple switches from multiple manufacturers may be transparently managed simultaneously from one single Lab Manager application, while an engineer using the system deals only with the end devices (s)he's using.

EdenTree Lab Manager also provides integrated control of power to end devices. From the client application you can control power to any of the devices in your configuration, if those devices are connected to one of our power switch partners.
