User Workspace and Desktop Management

two hikers hands in the air

Audience

Organizations that are best suited for our User Workspace Management solutions are seeking to reduce the complexity and cost of desktop management, improve security and controls, and simplify the deployment of new and existing software (i.e., updates and patches). Improving IT flexibility and staff mobility are also major drivers for desktop virtualization projects. Having clear goals and objectives will help your customers narrow in quickly on the right technologies and reap the benefits of desktop virtualization from Quest.

The Challenge

Many organizations are interested in virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) but are concerned about the costs to deploy, ongoing maintenance, the rigidity of technology and the projected gains of moving some physical desktops to virtual ones. Unfortunately, many have been intrigued and disappointed by vendor hype. Quest and Microsoft have been diligently building and enhancing functionality to address the major concerns, and can offer a solution that is truly different and innovative.


Our Solution

The Quest User Workspace Management solution provides choice and flexibility. It enables your customers to:
  • Provision and manage a blend of technologies (Hosted VDI, Offline/Local VDI, Terminal Server/RDSH and application virtualization) to help customers better meet employee needs and keep costs down
  • Use different hypervisors (VMware, Microsoft, Parallels) – running them simultaneously or switching between them – for lower replacement costs
  • Deploy a cost-effective solution compared to major vendors (about 40 percent less for the same functionality)
  • Easily introduce and manage Macs as well as "bring your own computer" (BYOC) initiatives
  • Take advantage of a wizard-driven installation and configuration with task scheduling and automation for less manual infrastructure operations
  • Provide a positive user experience, even over highly latent connections, with functionality for universal printing, USB redirection, graphics, video and enhanced audio for Microsoft's RDP and RemoteFX
