Last week we talked broadly about graphic station environments virtualization and the solutions available in the market today. As we already anticipated in that publication, in these specialized environments, the selection of the connection protocol for the virtual graphic stations is one fundamental piece.
There are several protocols in the market that are optimized for these types of tasks:
The information about the Remote PCs project, the differences between ESXi and Hyper-V and virtualization of graphic station environments have been the most interesting topics during the last two weeks according to our followers.

Remote PCs with UDS Enterprise & OpenGnSys
Nowadays, virtualization administrators are increasingly facing the challenge of managing an environment with multiple hypervisors. Factors such as mergers, acquisitions and changes in budgets have resulted in the migration to competing hypervisor platforms. The management of multi-hypervisor environments is not easy, but there are some strategies that can make it more simple. We sum them up below thanks to an interesting article by SearchServerVirtualization
The University of Sevilla and the University of Malaga are working with the UDS Enterprise development team in the Remote PC project, which grants access to the ICT classroom computers during out-of-school time in order to optimize the existing resources and access the specialized laboratories. In addition, PCs, memories and CPUs that have become obsolete or that are no longer used, have now a new and important role, which means an important cost saving and allows to make the most of the current computer park. In this way, the university meets the demand of students who increasingly use their own devices and gets cost savings in software licences.
If we have a look at how Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware ESXi work, we see many differences in terms of architecture. However, most virtualization administrators aren’t aware of these differences. In fact, many of them don’t really know how Hyper-V hypervisor works on the host operating system.
A very common misunderstanding about Microsoft Hyper-V is that since Windows operating system is required to install Hyper-V, it operates on the host OS instead of directly on the hardwar
