Quest Software Completes Acquisition Of Vizioncore
Tuesday, 22 January 2008 by Michel Roth
In June of last year Quest announced that it had acquired a majority stock in Vizioncore. Today, Quest has completely acquired Vizioncore, a provider of virtual infrastructure management products.

One of the things that the press release teaches is that Virtualizition Guru and the leading Vi 3.5 book Scott Herold will be taking on the job of Lead Architect at Quest

Quest Software today announced it has completed the acquisition of Vizioncore. Initially acquiring a controlling interest in Vizioncore in 2005, acquiring the remaining equity of Vizioncore marks the latest step in Quest’s effort to strengthen its position as a leader in software that enables companies to manage and enhance their heterogeneous IT infrastructure.
 
Quest also announced that Matt Dircks, recently named General Manager of its virtualization business, will initially focus on the Vizioncore product line as he develops the go-to-market plans for Quest’s growing portfolio of virtualization products. “We have a unique opportunity to meet the diverse needs of customers across many market segments with a portfolio of market-leading products, a highly skilled channel of value-added resellers, and a Quest team with demonstrated excellence in serving enterprise customers on a global scale,” Dircks said. He added that Quest has also added industry visionary Scott Herold to the virtualization business as its Lead Architect. “Scott is a recognized expert in the field of virtualization. I look forward to leveraging his unique blend of practical experience, market knowledge, and visionary thinking across the entire virtualization business.
