The spirit of innovation of Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) is reflected in its bet on new technologies to improve the service provided to students, teachers and administrative staff. This educational center has always been at the forefront of new trends, so they were early adopters of desktop virtualization in 2012.
UC3M relied on UDS Enterprise connection broker from the very beginning to deploy and administer VDI lifecycle. One of te main reasons they opted for this software was the flexibility it provides to the infrastructure, since it enables to use multiple hypervisors, authenticators and connection protocols, explained Alfonso J. Puebla, Coordinator of Technical Unit of Learning Areas at UC3M.
Last week we talked about the advantages of desktop virtualization to face work from home challenges for IT departments, such as software licenses management. In this post we deal with one of the areas of greatest concern for most companies: security
When an employee works from home using a personal device, it is really difficult to guarantee that his computer adheres to the company’s security policies. IT administrators must check whether a device is 100% secure and if it has, for example, an outdated OS or if it is infested with malware.
Over last years, more and more companies are embracing remote working and allow employees to work from home at least part time. This new trend presents new challenges, but all of them can be solved thanks to desktop virtualization, which helps IT to control work environments both inside or outside the office.
For many companies considering work from home as an option, one of the firsts issues they face is how to manage software licenses. If an employee needs a licenced application for work, it must be installed both in the computer he uses at the office and at home, therefore licensing costs double.
The UDS Enterprise Team joins the World Teleworking Day, since working from home is one of the advantages provided by our multiplatform connection broker for Windows and Linux.
UDS Enterprise enables the deployment of desktop, vApp and other IT services hosted in the Data Center or Cloud, so that users can access them anywhere, anytime and from any device.
Juan Jesús Farfán Leiva, Assistant Director of Virtual Teaching and Technological Laboratories at Universidad de Málaga:“With UDS Enterprise we’ve improved the management of our VDI infrastructure, offering virtual desktops with Windows and Linux, which are completely compatible with our authentication systems. Their SOA architecture allows us to create modules that can be integrated into our Espacio Virtual de Aprendizaje (EVA).”
Thanks to the Remote PC project with UDS Enterprise and OpenGnsys, students at the University of Malaga can use the computers located in the campus from anywhere. This possibility has been crucial to follow classes as always during the state of alarm by Covid-19.
José Luis Alonso Carmona, IT Manager for Europ Assistance Spain: “Using UDS Enterprise has allowed us to deploy and manage virtual desktops simply and easily, helping compatibility with CTI and IP telephony systems”.
