The UDS Enterprise development team is working to eliminate the need to have Java installed for certain types of connections to access from any web browser to virtual desktops deployed with our VDI connection broker for Windows and Linux.
Until now, it was necessary to have Java installed for certain types of connection when accessing virtual desktops from any browser. In addition, system administrators had to make sure that all the browsers of the computers they manage had the required version of Java installed in order to take maximum advantage of the platform for remote desktops.
Microsoft could release Windows code. So says Mark Russinovich, one of the most important developers in the company. Russinovich made these statements in ChefConf, a Conference held in Silicon Valley which is mostly attended by Linux users. There, the developer said that we are now facing “a new Microsoft, where an Open Source Windows is possible”.
Russinovich explained this would be an important step for the company evolution, since nowadays most Microsoft’s users and customers rely on Open Source. Therefore, the Redmond giant “also should bet on it”, explained. In addition, he explained that the company already allows Linux in its Azure cloud service and that, in fact, today 20% computers using this service work with the Penguin-OS.
Open Source continues to be one of the most interesting topics according to our readers. In fact, during last two weeks, two of the most read articles in our blog talk about this topic. In particular, the most highlighted posts talk about the deployment of a VDI architecture with oVirt, Open Source tools for developers and the creation of a desktop virtualization platform with vSphere.
In our post today we explain how to deploy and create KVM virtual machines under Red Hat based distros, such as RHEL, CentOS7 and Fedora 21.
First of all, you should make sure that the system has the necessary hardware virtualization extensions or that such extensions are enabled in the BIOS and that the KVM modules are loaded in the kernel.
Then, you should install packages qemu-kvm and qemu-img. These packages provide the disk image manager and the KVM user level.
The UDS Enterprise team joins the World Backup Day recommending the use of VDI to improve backup policies.
Implementing desktop virtualization technology, the backup of the virtual desktops becomes an easier and effective task, since administrators can enable the backup of the base templates used to deploy the desktops centrally from the data center.
