UDS Enterprise in Citrix Ready Marketplace

Our VDI connection broker for Windows and Linux can be purchased through Citrix Ready Marketplace.

The compatibility between our software and XenServer 6.2 made it possible for Citrix to recognize VirtualCable as technology partner and, after testing its integration, they included it in its third-party solutions market.

The UDS Enterprise development team l has taken a step forward to achieve a perfect compatibility between UDS Enterprise y Citrix’s Open Source virtualization platform. The next version of our broker, which will be shortly released, includes full support for XenServer.

Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

Converged vs hyper-converged infrastructures

What are the main differences between hyper-converged and converged infrastructures?

The main difference is that hyper-converged infrastructures are defined by software and completely transparent. In this type of infrastructure, components cannot be separated in the same way as in the converged ones, but they are more flexible and customizable.

The flexibility of hyper-converged infrastructures makes them more scalable and cost-effective, because you can add, for example, more storage blocks as needed. In the converged ones, this option isn’t possible, since it is necessary to add whole packages, what makes them more expensive.

UDS Enterprise doesn’t need Java installed

UDS Enterprise doesn’t need Java installed

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 may release Windows as Open Source

Microsoft may release Windows as Open Source

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.
