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.
Desktop virtualization is still a booming technology and Open Source tools guarantee a stable and free of charge VDI deployment to manage virtual desktops.
So says an article in Red Hat Open Source Community blog, which highlights the project deployed by VirtualCable in the University of Seville, where they implemented a VDI solution for more than 3,000 students with the connection broker for Windows and Linux UDS Enterprise and oVirt.

Data security is one of the issues that most concern companies when deciding about public or private cloud.
Usually, organizations tend to be more skeptical with public cloud, but there are a number of tests that can be run to identify and fix possible security holes in this type of clouds.
In order to perform these tests, first you will have select a fragment of the cloud environment that you want to test and then, you will be ready to define the strategy to be followed.
