Hyper-converged infrastructures simplify desktop virtualization, since all back-end resources, including management software, run together on an isolated and completely integrated location.
Therefore, these systems can change the way an organization approaches VDI, as they reduce IT workloads and makes it easier to fix issues related to data center.
The general availability of UDS Enterprise 2.0 Release Candidate, the fixing of a vulnerability detected in Debianand the new trainings for partners desingned by the UDS Enterprise were the most outstanding topics in our blog during the first fortnight of September.
Find below the links to the posts on these subjects so that you can keep up to date with the most important news on Open Source and virtualization according to our followers:
Migrating from one vCenter to another has been so far a hard task, since it was pretty difficult to deploy and configure a new vCenter Server while keeping the existing one to perform the migration. When performing this task, one should take into account many factors, as the sieze of the environment, the number of solutions using vCenter Server as an endpoint and hoy physical and virtual networks are configured. Drafting the full migration of a virtual infrastructure plan may also take a long time.
But now, it’s going to be far more easy, since VMware has announced the release of vSphere 6.0 Update 2m (Migration), an automate tool to migrate from a vCenter Server 5.5 Windows to vCenter Server Appliance 6.0 Update 2.
VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise can use Windows and Linux server operating systems as templates (gold images) to deploy virtual desktops. Server desktops are deployed in the same way as traditional virtual desktops.
Thanks to the way UDS Actor has been developed and its versatility, it can set the configurations defined by an administrator to the server virtual desktops as if they were traditional virtual desktops.
Microsoft has announced that the preview of Azure Service Fabric for Linux will be available on September 26, during the Microsoft Ignite Conference that will be held in Atlanta (EEUU). This announcement means that Service Fabric clusters in Azure can be provisioned using Linux as host operating system and deploy Java applications in Service Fabric clusters. Initially, Service Fabric for Linux will be available for Ubuntu and it will also support RHEL soon.
