A few days ago we talked about the Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA) developed by the University of Murcia (UMU) to provide students with disabilities or learning difficulties with more efficient accessibility to computer tools that make learning much easier for them. In this article we will delve into the architecture of the project, where our UDS Enterprise VDI broker is a key piece: it is the software that manages and deploys virtual desktops, facilitating the connection between the different components of the VDI platform. Allows users to access programs and applications through the specific channel defined by the administrator.
The University of Murcia presented during Docencia-Net session at the RedIRIS Working Groups held at the end of 2019 an interesting and innovative project that provides access to computer tools that make learning much easier for students with disabilities or learning difficulties. The Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA in its Spanish acronym) provides specific instruments for these types of students, such as text readers or dictation software. The VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise is a key element that make the optimal operation possible.
In our last article of the year before taking a short break for Christmas, we will recap the articles in our blog that have been most successful during this year. In this way, we take the pulse of the most outstanding news about VDI and Open Source according to the criteria of our readers and offer the opportunity to finish the year well informed to those who have not yet had the opportunity to take a look at these articles.
Registrations are now open to the XIV Free Software University Contest powered by the University of Seville and the University of Huelva. All university students, middle and upper grade students of the Spanish education system are invited to participate in this free software, hardware and technical documentation contest.
The VDI and vApp connections broker UDS Enterprise is the best technology of its type to manage and deploy Windows and Linux virtual desktops and applications in small and medium-sized companies and education centers that offer online teaching. This is stated by a research conducted by Víctor Cuchillac, Professor at the Technological University of El Salvador (UTEC), the largest private university in that country.
The professor has carried out a thorough study with the collaboration of his students to determine which cost-effective technologies are more efficient and profitable to build a desktop and application virtualization infrastructure for SMBs and online education.
According to this study, the ideal platform for this type of environment would be composed of FreeNAS storage, the XCP-ng hypervisor, Microsoft RDS, the UDS Enterprise broker and the LibreNMS monitoring technology.
This October, the seventh edition of EU Code Week is being held. The goal of this initiative is making digital skills and innovation come to life for citizens across Europe and beyond.
