vWorkspace - Version 7.1

Boost WAN Performance (EOP Xtream) and Enhance Microsoft Remote Desktop Services to Simplify and Automate Administration


When planning for a desktop virtualization infrastructure, many organizations now prefer to use a blended approach that uses the appropriate virtualization technology for each class of user and delivers the lowest average cost per desktop.

 
Available now, the new Quest vWorkspace version 7.1 supports multiple centralized desktop platforms, including Microsoft Hyper-V-based virtual desktops, Remote Desktop Session hosts (formerly known as Terminal Servers) and physical/blade PCs. vWorkspace securely and efficiently delivers advanced management capabilities including connection brokering, desktop provisioning and user experience optimizations, and provides support for Microsoft Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 with Hyper-V.

Quest vWorkspace simplifies desktop virtualization by:

  • Accelerating application delivery to the desktop
  • Reducing the cost of application delivery and desktop deployment by leveraging existing investments
  • Providing workforce flexibility and administration agility by enabling a customized environment
  • Improving security, compliance, DR and business continuity with centralization and strong authentication
  • Delivering an improved end-user experience 
What’s New in vWorkspace 7.1


Quest vWorkspace 7.1 offers EOP Xtream to boost WAN performance, and deep integration and enhancements for Microsoft Remote Desktop Services (RDS)

Key features of vWorkspace version 7.1:

EOP Xtream

With the patent-pending EOP Xtream, vWorkspace delivers faster screen updates and smoother interaction across WAN and Internet/VPN connections by dramatically reducing the effects of network latency. These improvements drive user acceptance and will accelerate adoption of desktop virtualization in enterprises and Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) from the cloud.
