A VDI platform may greatly improve the security of critical information, as it allows administrators to ensure the user workstation environment by controlling access to virtual desktops, refusing the use of non-authorized devices, if necessary.
On the one hand, the use of non-persistent virtual desktops permits you to immediately change the status of a user station platform back to a stable and valid configuration. A completely new desktop is presented to a user each time they open a session, which completely isolates viruses or any other type of malware.
At the end of a class, each student has changed many aspects of virtual machines (VM). In order to prepare them for the next class, it is important to be able to return them to its original state as soon as possible. The Logical Volume Manager snapshots are useful in these cases.
The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a method that has been used successfully on Linux for many years and managing storage in a flexible way. Instead of working with fixed storage allocation units, LVM work with versatile volumes that can be extended or reduced very easily. These volumes offer also other benefits, like the snapshots.
Online learning through virtual classrooms is becoming increasingly widespread. For companies that wish to join this trend, virtualization with KVM is a good option, because that enables you to deliver a remote high-quality education at a very affordable price. In this article, we explain the hardware and memory requirements to set up an environment based on KVM to offer online courses. Our VDI multiplatform connection broker for Windows and Linux, UDS Enterprise, is fully compatible with KVM.
Considering the current development of hardware, it is not necessary to pay a lot of money for hardware that work properly. You only should look for the most suitable according to quality and price, like Intel NUC.
A very common mistake when you dimension the necessary platform to host your VDI environment is to base the sizing calculations according to the current resources.
When you purchase hardware PC, these equipments are essentially acquired according to market standards. In most cases, the resources offered by these PCs are underused, so you are sizing a VDI platform with resources that won’t be necessary, with the consequent costs increase.
In other cases, resource calculations are performed without taking into account the future growth of the platform of users, having resource contention issues in a short period of time.
VMware has announced that they will launch VDI solutions for Linux in China. The technology giant bets on a solution for Linux desktops based on Desktone, their desktop as a service solution.
The option that they would be already contemplating in regards to 2015 would have an edition for companies and institutions.
In this way, the new VMware offering would be already placed in the Asian market by 2020, date when the Chinese Government will no longer use Windows.
