New software from Quest provides secure access from Android tablets and phones to virtual Windows desktops.


Quest's vWorkspace Connector for Android provides secure and speedy access to vWorkspace virtual Windows desktops. The app supports Experience Optimised Protocol (EOP) graphics acceleration technology for better performance where large numbers of detailed graphics are involved.

Other features include an on-screen mouse, instant zoom and scroll, remote audio, and secure access to virtualised desktops and applications.

vWorkspace blends a variety of virtualisation and remote access technologies including hosted and local VDI, Terminal Server/Remote Desktop Session Host, and application virtualisation in order to minimise cost while delivering a good user experience.

"Companies need desktop virtualisation solutions that deliver support and access for the devices their employees use most," said Keith Graham, manager, product management at Quest's desktop virtualisation group.
