The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has been relying for years on desktop and application virtualization with UDS Enterprise to centralize the management of the computer classrooms of all the schools and faculties on their campuses. Students and teachers have been enjoying the flexibility of being able to access all the teaching software at any time, from any place and device. This solution was also implemented in several UPV university departments and services, which were already enjoying its advantages, such as high availability of applications and greater data security. Thanks to its commitment to this technology, the Information and Communications Systems Area has been able to implement a contingency plan for Covid-19 in a few hours.
Since the very beginning of its professional activity, VirtualCable has had a close relationship with the educational sector in general and with the Spanish universities in particular. We have worked closely with many of them making custom developments to facilitate the adoption of desktop and application virtualization technology.
We have also collaborated on joint projects to make available to the entire educational community functionalities that did not exist to date (such as the access to VDI and vApp through Moodle), which simplify IT work and help teachers and students improve their academic experience.
RedIRIS, the Spanish academic and research network, encourages all affiliated institutions to share their experiences and the challenges they are facing these days due to the urgency with which they are having to implement a remote work system. Together with the TECNIRIS community, they have organized a series of live video sessions where all affiliated institutions may participate, including universities, public administrations and public research centers.
Google has announced the names of the Open Source organizations and projects that will put their knowledge and experience at the service of the participants of their program Google Summer of Code (GSoC).
In our post today we gather the most read articles in our blog during the past month of January so that you can keep up to date with the most outstanding news of the VDI and Open Source sector.
First we find the article that talks about the thread in the XCP-ng forum that specifically talks about the compatibility of UDS Enterprise and the Open Source hypervisor based on XenServer. There, users can make any type of query about the interoperability of both solutions or about the characteristics, functionalities or technical doubts when implementing our VDI broker.
