Red Hat introduced yesterday at the Red Hat Summit held in Boston the Red Hat Mobile Application Platform. The development of this platform started last October with the acquisition of FreedHenry, a mobile application platform provider.
The platform incorporates technology from FeedHenry with products from Red Hat’s JBoss Middleware and OpenShift PaaS portfolio, and adds new mobile services.
As we told you a few weeks ago, UDS Enterprise 1.7 is already available.
The development team has made an important effort in order to introduce, apart from the improvements we mentioned in previous posts, as full support for Citrix XenServer, a new actor and new virtual desktops based on Fedora and CentOS, other outstanding new features.
One of the arguments of the companies so far for not to deploy non-persistent desktops has been that the workers unwelcomed them, since they wanted to use on their computers the programs and applications that they considered appropriate.
Now that all employees have mobile devices and use in that private devices the applications they want, they don’t care so much what can be installed or not on their corporate computers.
UDS Enterprise fully integrates with Microsoft Hyper-V (version 3 onwards).
UDS Enterprise components are offered in Virtual Appliance format and they are hosted on the Hyper-V platform on which the virtual desktops are going to be deployed.
The integration process is very easy, you can check it reading this presentation:
Many users are unaware of the fact that the Linux kernel developed by the Linus Torvalds team contains proprietary software to make it, for example, more compatible and universal with certain hardware.
So if we’d like to use GNU/Linux in a 100% free way , discarding these non-free added components, we should use some of the recommended distros by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) that you can find in this link.
