The Quest Software vWorkspace is a comprehensive framework that leverages the VMware Virtual Infrastructure to transform the physical desktop computer and its applications into on-demand virtual services.

2. Access Infrastructure: Sophisticated access portal including the Web interface and SSL gateway, enabling any PC or thin client to securely connect and access a vWorkspace-enabled Virtual Desktop Infrastructure.
   
3. Enhanced End-User Experience and Last-Mile Features: Full-desktop and application publishing, seamless windows, up to 4096X2048 screen resolutions, multi-monitor support, single sign-on, smartcard authentication, USB handheld redirection, user profile management, and universal print driver
