Surgient, a provider of Virtual Lab Management Applications for software testing, training and evaluation, has announced the upcoming release of Surgient Virtual Lab Management Applications version 5.3. This extends Surgient's enterprise virtual lab leadership by enabling the support of a wide-array of guest operating systems, 64-bit guest and host environments and advanced complex networking scenarios. Large organizations have indicated the need for these capabilities as they extend their use of virtual labs beyond individual projects and groups.

Surgient Virtual Lab Management Applications enable companies to automate software testing and enhance vital software QA/testing, training, marketing, sales and support processes. By eliminating the substantial time and cost that companies spend to manually deploy, configure and teardown complex software lab environments, Surgient Virtual Lab Management Applications raise the overall efficiency of today's software delivery lifecycle activities, yielding greater employee productivity and a more rapid return on IT investments.

Version 5.3 of Surgient Virtual Lab Management Applications features support for an extensive catalog of operating systems, including 64-bit guest and host computing environments.
