Today, at the Microsoft Management Summit in Las Vegas, we released vWorkspace 6.1. There is no coincidence in us announcing 6.1 at the biggest Microsoft event geared towards virtualization management. Quest vWorkspace 6.1 is all about new and improved with various Microsoft virtualization products. My personal favorite is the integration of Quest vWorkspace 6.1 with Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Through this deep integration, Quest vWorkspace adds automation and improved management-level support, enhanced user experience and flexibility throughout the virtual desktop lifecycle, utilizing the unique characteristics of SCVMM.

SCVMM is not the only key Microsoft technology that vWorkspace integrates with. Quest vWorkspace 6.1 also has tight integration with Microsoft App-V, right from the vWorkspace Management Console. It does not stop there, either. Quest vWorkspace 6.1 also has advanced MSI support to allow customers to configure and deploy MSI to any amount of (Virtual) Desktops right from the vWorkspace Management Console. Finally, Quest vWorkspace’s unique “task automation” feature provides customers with a comprehensive configuration and maintenance framework to allow customers to take virtual desktop management to a new level.

For those of you who are keeping count: yes Quest vWorkspace 6.1 has been released only 3,5 months after our major 6.0 release. The desktop virtualization market is the most dynamic out there today and to stay in the lead we feel the need to keep providing customers with new and improved vWorkspace features as often as we can. We hope that you are as excited about Quest vWorkspace as we are! As always we value any feedback that you might have.Feel free to leave them in the comments.
