The review in Red Hat’s Open Source Community blog about the VDI project with UDS Enterprise and oVirt in the University of Seville, the new software developed by Login VSI to monitor virtual desktop’s performance and the hardware requirements to deploy a desktop virtualization platform have been the most read topics in our blog for the last two weeks.

An identity federation or federated identity is the means of linking a person’s electronic identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. It allows using single sign-on (SSO), in which a user’s single authentication ticket, or token, is trusted across multiple IT systems, organizations, companies or entities.
It is a very useful way of sharing information between organizations whithout sharing security, authentication or directory technologies.
The education sector is one of those taking advantage of this technologies. An example is CONFIA identity fedetarion, composed by several universities from Andalusia (Spain), which main goal is to enable persons belonging to this community use distributed services using the credentials of their home university.
Yesterday we had the opportunity to listen Brian Madden and Gabe Knuth, well-known virtualization experts, presenting Login PI, new Login VSI solution that monitors virtual desktop performance.
This new tool, gives IT the advantage of understanding the current end user experience within their VDI environment by using highly realistic synthetic users instead of production end users.
In previous posts we talked about Remote PCs project we are developing together with the University os Seville and the University of Malaga, which is focused on offering teachers and students the possibility to access the computers in ITC classrooms during non-school hours. In this article we’re explaining how they will access the resources which will be available 24×7.
They will access in the same way they do it today: through Moodle e-learning platform, thus the authentication handicap would be solved, because the users access the virtual campus with their regular users and passwords.
AMD has released the Open Source driver AMDGPU with support for Radeon R9 285.
Publishing the code of this driver, the company reaches out to Linux distributions’ users that have been demanding for a long time the possibility to use free drivers. The only found restriction is that Catalyst will be an additional and propietary component.
