Virtualization Management

Public Sector Solutions

More Information


Virtualization will allow the Federal government to eliminate 800 data centers over the next few years. It also helps state and local governments to reduce server counts, rack space needs, and HVAC costs. And it's a way for governments and higher education to be more agile when IT demand ebbs and flows due to academic calendars, tax seasons, or budget cycles. But virtualizing parts of your infrastructure, means adding VM hosts - and a layer of complexity. And even though it lets you reduce the physical footprint, your users may be missing some of the benefits of your virtual environment.

Quest's solutions ensure you and your users get the full value of virtualization on platforms such as VMware ESX and ESXi, VSphere and Microsoft Hyper-V. These solutions deliver robust and broad-based management and monitoring, as well as backup and recovery, high availability and replication You get capabilities that go far beyond what the native tools provide. In addition to solutions for your server farm, Quest provides innovative products that let you virtualize desktops. We can help you leverage all the security and management benefits of virtualization, while allowing your users to work within their virtual desktops even when they don't have network connectivity. No one else but Quest can provide that.

Quest’s industry-leading solutions help you get the most out of your virtualized environments, from initial planning through ongoing operations.

A Norwich University survey on virtualization and cloud computing in the public sector reveals new and significant data on virtualization management, cloud computing attitudes, and barriers and incentives to cloud adoption, as well as on the cloud's impact on resource management, mandate compliance, and security standards. You'll gain additional insight into today's virtualization and cloud implementations, and
into effective paths forward, by reviewing the results of this survey.

vConverter converts physical servers to VMware or Microsoft virtual machines (P2V) and VMs back to physical systems (V2P). And once you've built out your virtual infrastructure, you can keep it fully backed up, highly available, and disaster-proof with vRanger and vReplicator. Plus, vFoglight provides unparalleled management, optimization, and chargeback functionality for all your virtualized environments.

Virtualization can eat up costly disk space, running up operating expenses that you can't afford. But vOptimizer Pro and vOptimizer WasteFinder help identify and reclaim overallocated VM storage while improving I/O and the end user experience.

Our solutions for backup and recovery and high-availability work with Oracle-based VMs just as well as they do for Oracle databases on physical servers. The same goes for our server virtualization management solutions that support Active Directory, Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and SQL Server, either individually or along with vRanger as part of our Total Virtual Data Protection packages.

vWorkspace extends virtualization to the desktop and application level, enabling you to maintain close control over access and user experience while reducing vulnerability to malicious attacks. vWorkspace can even provide local (offline) VDI (virtual desktop infrastructure) so that users can even use their locked-down desktops without network connectivity.
