A few days ago we explained what exactly a connection broker is, but many of you will be wondering what it is mainly used for. One of the most common uses is desktop virtualization, in fact many solutions in the market only highlight or feature this functionality.
Apart from provisioning and managing virtual desktops, a connection broker can enable the administration and centralized management of users access to any other remote desktop service, like virtualized applications, IP phones, IP cameras, shared resources… Some of the most comprehensive ones integrate with different cloud services, even enable access to physical PCs and e-Learning platforms.
This year, the term Hyper-V nested virtualization is everywhere, and not only because it is a new Hyper-V Server 2016 feature, but because od the implications on another technology whic is becomng more and more popular: containers.
The support for containers is one key benefit of Hyper-V nested virtualization, since it brings a new take on VMs, with less overhead and more flexibility to develop and deploy applications.
UDS Enterprise is a multiplatform connection broker which goes one step further, since it manages both access and lifecycle of virtual and physical desktops, applications and any remote desktop service, ensuring top performance, flexibility and scalability.
With UDS Enterprise we can access our services via web from basically any operating system, like Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, iOS, Android… It also makes it possible to virtualize different versions and distributions of Windows and Linux desktops, such as Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 2008, Windows 2012, Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian distros, CentOS, openSUSE ….
The Universities and Free Software Ranking (RuSL for the Spanish spelling) has published the fifth edition of its annual report.
The 2016 report shows a constant commitment of academic institutions to Free Software development and support. There is a growing number of universities really interested in supporting and spreading the use of free technologies. The use of Open Source tools and collaboration in free software porjects has also grown this year.
