Instead, the product is a new offering from Vizioncore thanks to the strategic partnership formed by the acquisition of both Vizioncore and Invirtus by Quest Software.vOptimizer reduces a virtual machine’s virtual hard drive to a much smaller size while optimizing Windows guest operating systems for increased portability and performance. The 4.0 release offers a local desktop version as well as an enterprise or network version that works across the LAN or WAN and offers the ability to automate and schedule jobs to optimize a repository of virtual machines in a batch mode.Other new features of this release include new management reports, the fact that vOptimizer no longer needs to run inside the virtual machine, as well as a significant improvement in the application’s optimization process.With more products entering the virtualization scene to battle Vizioncore for their virtualization backup customers, this product seems like a nice offering to get included into Vizioncore’s bag of virtualization tricks.
