Thin Client vendor 10ZiG have launched their V series, offering a variety of clients optimized for a VDI environment. The V series includes both Linux and XPe terminals, both of which include the Quest vWorkspace 6.x client.

Please refer to the ‘Quest vWorkspace Linux Client Guide’ that is located in the downloads section of www.vworkspace.com for full details on the Linux client, for the Windows client please refer to the Admin Guide that is packaged with the complete download of vWorkspace. For further information on 10ZiG please refer to their website.

One of the most exiting new features in Quest vWorkspace 6.2 is the tight integration with NetApp FlexClone. In addition to dramatic reductions in storage requirements, the tight integration between vWorkspace and NetApp storage enables organizations to quickly provision hundreds or thousands of virtual desktops in minutes instead of hours. This further reduces the cost and resources required to implement a VDI environment while simplifying deployment and management.  NetApp FlexClone technology instantly replicates data volumes and data sets as transparent, virtual copies to increase productivity and save storage space without compromising performance. By saving space with minimal overhead, FlexClone enables companies to cost effectively create all the clones they need to optimize the productivity of their vWorkspace Virtual Desktops.

Recently we recorded a demonstration of this cool integration of Quest vWorkspace 6.2 with NetApp.  The demo shows the creation of 100 Quest Virtual Desktops in 5 minutes using only 2 GB storage. That is extremely impressive. Check it out:
