I had the liberty of testing out OpsQuick in the beta release, and man that is good stuff! Thanks Rick D, and keep up the good work to all at VisionApp. Visionapp today released OpsQuick™ 2009! The Windows deployment tool will be officially launched at BriForum 2009 next week in Chicago, but it heat the streets today. We’ve already gotten coverage on a few press sites, most notably CNBC, TMC, and Street Insider.

OpsQuick extends the power of Microsoft Windows Deployment Services (WDS, a component of Windows Server) to simplify and automate the creation, maintenance, and deployment of Windows operating systems to any physical or virtual machine platform.

The pricing and licensing model of OpsQuick should make things easier for many IT admins. It’s priced at $499 per admin (instead of per managed node/server/workstation). That means that a Windows admin could buy OpsQuick and manage all the servers and workstations in their company–and when the organization adds PCs and servers, that admin can manage those too, without paying additional licensing fees.

OpsQuick is also a pretty good value: in our internal tests, it’s just about as fast as the competition, but a company with two Windows administrators and 100 nodes might pay more than $2,500 for another product, but only $998 with OpsQuick.

And I think our marketing people are crazy, but they decided it wasn’t enough to be less than half the price, so until August 31, you can get it for $299 per admin, a 40% discount.

More information about OpsQuick is available at www.opsquick.com, where you can download 14-day evaluations and purchase through our online shop. I’ve heard a rumor or two that there will be a couple of folks reviewing OpsQuick soon, too, so I’ll make sure to post those links if and when they come out.
