Quest Software and Parallels Launch Bundled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Solution

Combines the best of high density OS Virtualization and User and Management
Features of VDI Desktop Virtualization
Aliso Viejo, Calif. and Renton, Wash., June 24, 2008 Quest Software
Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT), and Parallels today launched a Virtual Desktop
Infrastructure (VDI) bundle that offers enterprises a centralized Windows
desktop deployment and management platform. The end-to-end stack significantly
reduces the management and security headache of desktop computing, and reduces
the investment required in hardware and software licenses.
The combination of Parallels Virtuozzo Containers server virtualization and
Quests Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite (VAS) desktop brokering and
management solution simplifies desktop and image management, improves security,
addresses regulatory compliance and offers the most cost-efficient approach to
terminal services.
The bundled VDI solution from Quest Software and Parallels provides customers
with a unique offering of high consolidation ratios and a reduction in image
management requirements," said Michael Rose, Research Analyst at IDC. "The
combined platform can enable organizations to build a VDI infrastructure with
high density that maximizes management efficiency."
Parallels Virtuozzo Containers enables users to run multiple workloads as
isolated, simultaneously executing virtual environments called containers.
Since it is installed on top of the operating system (OS), the containers use
the resources of the underlying host OS, rather than needing their own. This
means a far greater density of workloads can be run on a physical server: three
times that of other approaches. In addition, fewer deployed OS instances means
the solution is easier to manage and containers can be provisioned with
applications and services on-the-fly, with a single click.
"By delivering up to three times the number of virtual desktops on each physical
server, Parallels Virtuozzo Containers makes VDI a truly cost effective
solution," said Paul Ghostine, VP and General Manager of Quest Softwares
Provision Networks division. We see this partnership as an opportunity to
further extend our leadership in the VDI space by giving customers a variety of
platform choices for their desktop virtualization needs.
Provision Networks Virtual Access Suite is the only enterprise-grade Virtual
Desktop Infrastructure solution, providing multi-platform integration and the
most comprehensive desktop lifecycle management capabilities. These include
automated provisioning, sysprep editing, AD integration, power management,
support for application streaming, advanced brokering and arbitration, a
complete scheduling infrastructure for automated task execution, and the best
experience for LAN and WAN users.
The combination of our two best-of-breed solutions offers customers a desktop
computing solution that reduces management headaches and easily scales to meet
the business needs, said Serguei Beloussov, CEO, Parallels. "We are pleased to
work with Quest Softwares Provision Networks Division, providing customers an
easy path to centralizing, virtualizing and optimizing their desktop
infrastructure.
