VDI platform with UDS Enterprise: Requirements

Deploying a desktop virtualization platform with UDS Enterprise connection broker is a very easy task.

You only need a properly sized hardware platform for your deployment, a hypervisor and an authentication system that fits the project’s needs and the licenses for the Windows and Linux OS or vApp to virtualize.

In case of hypervisors, you can choose between Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix Acropolis, RHEV KVM, oVirt KVM, VMware vSphere… or even enable several ones at the same time. UDS Enterprise allows to migrate from one hypervisor to another in a quick and effective way, providing great flexibility to the VDI infrastructure.
