Quest enters VDI space, acquires Provision Networks
Seems like all the major players, sans Microsoft, have a VDI client. Quest has just checked in.
Quest Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: QSFT – News) today announced the acquisition of the assets of Provision Networks Inc. (www.ProvisionNetworks.com), a privately held leader of enterprise-grade presentation and desktop virtualization solutions. The addition of Provision Networks’ award-winning virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and management offerings helps position Quest as one of leading providers of heterogeneous virtualization management solutions across both physical and virtual desktops, applications and servers. The companies’ combined products bring to market technical, customer and channel synergies, enabling Quest to extend its leadership in infrastructure management from the desktop to the datacenter.
“This acquisition marks an important step forward for Quest in both our virtualization offerings and our Windows desktop management capabilities,” said Vinny Smith, CEO of Quest Software. “As virtualization and desktop management are key components of our vision and product areas within our growth strategy, the addition of Provision Networks is an important step in positioning Quest to meet a broader and deeper set of customer needs during 2008 and beyond, and I am excited to add the Provision Networks team and solutions to the Quest family.”
