At the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, Quest Software announced a limited time offer to drive desktop virtualization adoption.
Through December 31, 2010, Microsoft is providing a 70% discount on its Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) Standard Suite for up to 250 devices or 20% of a customer’s desktops covered by a Client Access License (CAL) or Enterprise Client Access License suite, whichever is less, through an Enterprise or Select, Open Value, or Campus and School family of agreements.
Quest is offering a 50% discount, through December 31, 2010, on Quest vWorkspace Enterprise licenses for up to 500 devices, providing virtual desktop management and delivery for VDI, Terminal Server/Session Host and App-V deployments.
The special offer from Quest makes Quest vWorkspace Enterprise available for the annual fee of $34.50 per device and includes 24×7 Business Critical Support and Software Maintenance. The vWorkspace promotion is good for up to 500 devices. Unlike other offers in the market that are only valid for the initial term of one year, the Quest offer can be renewed at the same price for two additional annual terms, making it good for a three year period for purchases completed before December 31, 2010.
Quest vWorkspace aggregates Microsoft Windows application and desktop delivery by supporting multiple VDI platforms (Hyper-V, Parallels, ESX), as well as Remote Desktop Session Host (Terminal Server), App-V and Physical/Blade PCs, enabling organizations to configure the most cost-effective mix to meet diverse user needs. Quest vWorkspace manages, provisions, and brokers connections to these desktop virtualization platforms, transforming the desktop infrastructure into an on-demand service with an optimized experience for LAN and WAN users.
