Quest Software announced the availability of the newest version of Quest vWorkspace, a desktop virtualization solution for simplifying the provisioning, management and use of virtual desktops. In addition to its support of the VMware platform, vWorkspace also now supports VMware Linked Clones, which reduce shared storage disk space requirements.

• Providing workforce flexibility and administration agility by enabling a customized environment
• Improving security, compliance, DR and business continuity with centralization and strong authentication
