vWorkspace New Microsoft Platform Support
Tuesday, 12 January 2010 by Michel Roth
This blog post talks about the support for new platforms in Quest vWorkspace 7.0. With Quest vWorkspace 7.0 the following support, including Microsoft Windows 64-bit versions, has been added to vWorkspace: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, SCVMM 2008 R2.

The expanded support for all these newer platforms is a perfect example of one of the core values of Quest vWorkspace: provide customer with flexibility and options to allow them to create their own “best of breed” application and desktop delivery infrastructures. Whether customers want to use Windows XP, SCVMM 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Session Hosts, vSphere or Windows 7, any mix is possible with Quest vWorkspace 7.0.

Introducing support for the latest Microsoft platforms (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, SCVMM 2008 R2) does not only provide customers with the opportunity to experience the synergy of the newest Microsoft platforms and Quest vWorkspace but it also shows the strong dedication that Quest and Microsoft as partners (check out the details on the relationship) have in creating a synergetic application delivery platform. Delivering support for these newer platforms is well within Quest’s self-imposed deadline to support all the new Microsoft platforms within 90 days of their associated GA dates.

The following clip demonstrates this improved platform support by connecting to a Quest vWorkspace managed Windows Server 2008 R2 RD Session Host  and a Quest vWorkspace managed Windows 7 virtual desktop hosted with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager R2.

Of course this is just one of the many new features in Quest vWorkspace 7.0. You can download a fully functional evaluation version of vWorkspace 7.0 here yourself.
