One of the important issues that must be evaluated before deploying a VDI project is whether the virtual desktops are going to be persistent or non-persistent. The UDS Enterprise team has analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two options to make the most appropriate decision for each business. Below we sum up the features of persistent desktops and throughout this week we will publish another post on non-persistent desktops.
With the resources of a persistent desktop, each user has their own desktop running on a specific virtual machine. These types of desktops allow for a greater personalization of one’s workspace, but require more storage and backup resources.
Government institutions and organizations are increasingly aware of the benefits involved in the use of Open Source solutions. Migration of servers and desktop systems to free models are usual actions because of the benefits in terms of cost savings and flexibility.

Our VDI broker UDS Enterprise allows the deployment of Linux virtual desktop and its Open Source nature makes possible a quick and easy customization to suit the needs of each client.
On 28 and 29 October the V International Conference on Virtual Campus will be held in Panama City organized by the Technological University of Panama and the University Network Virtual Campus.
The aim of this event is to strengthen academic and research collaboration between organizations from Europe and the American continent that work for the development of virtual education. To do so, work areas such as educational innovation, the development of technological support tools or virtualization and internationalization of education will be discussed.
Choosing a storage technology for VDI because of vendor loyalty may lead to a wrong decision. Administrators should take into account different points to select the storage for virtual desktops.
VDI expert Brian Madden explained at a seminar in New York the storage requierements for a virtual desktop infraestructure and the importance of choosing the right option.
Did you realize Linux is present each day in more technological environments? Thanks to the free software flexibility and Open Source possibilities for collaborative development, the developments with this operating system are increasingly numerous and do not adhere only to PCs.
Mobile devices are one of these areas. Not only Android is based on Linux. Some of the new mobile operating systems, like Tizen, Sailfish OS or Firefox OS also carry the heart of the penguin software.
