Linux and Unix are not the same, but would you know how to explain the differences between them?
Unix is a propietary system which can’t be modified, only AT&T, the company that created and owns it can do it. It was developed in the 1970s as an operating system to manage servers and nowadays it is mainly used for that purpose, except MacOS X, a desktop OS. Server operating systems are difficult to install, commands are more important than graphic interface and they are only compatible with specific hardware. AIS, HP-UX or Soralis are some Unix systems examples.
Another UDS Enterprisekey component is UDS Actor. It is the software responsible for the communication between the VDI connection broker and the different desktop services managed by UDS Enterprise: virtual and static desktops, applications…
This component configures virtual desktops according to the OS Manager set by the platform administrator, that contains some desktop features (operating system, persistent/non persistent, joined to domain…). In addition, it transmits data like the virtual desktop state, machine name, IP address, MAC, etc… so that the admin totally controls the virtual desktop at any time.
Issue tracking tools are crucial to manage any project workflow. They allow to detect, track and resolve bugs in a collaborative way. In this article we are going to talk about three Open Source tools easy to download and manage:
Redmine. It enables to manage multiple projects and integrates with many version control systems. It not only tracks issues, but also features forums, wikis, time tracking tools, and generates Gantt charts and calendars to track progress. Its configuration is fairly flexible, supports many databases, languages and can be customized. There is an online demo available to test this tool.
The series of articles that analyze each component of UDS Enterprise VDI connection broker and the meetings of RedIRIS Working Groups which took place at the beginning of this month at the University of Córdoba have been the most read topics in our blog for the last weeks.
Find below the links to the posts on these topics so that you can keep up to date with the most outstanding information abour Open Source and virtualization according to our followers:
VDI golden images allow to deploy several virtual desktops based on a single base image. This configuration simplifies a lot desktop management but also complicates updates.
A VDIgolden image contains an operating system and hardware configuration. Windows-based images can be managed using Microsoft Sysprep tool in order to clone the OS. The image usually contains also patches and applications, but applications can be also virtualized separately.
