MetaRed, the collaborative project formed by ICT managers from Ibero-American Universities, held past Monday, October 5 a webinar where several educational centers revealed how they have equipped their classrooms to turn them into hybrid teaching spaces to face the new scenario posed by Covid-19.
Schools, high-schools, universities, academies… the entire Education sector is immersed in a stage of innovation that necessarily implies adapting hybrid models, face-to-face and digital, which allow keeping on learning regardless of the place where both students and teachers are.
Virtual Cable and Microsoft have organized a webinar for next Wednesday, October 14 to reveal the keys and best practices when it comes to tackling the complexity posed by these new scenarios.
UDS Enterprise 3.0 Release Candidate is now available exclusively for all our subscribers. The VDI broker team has made the new version of the software available to all its clients, so that they are the first to try the wide range of possibilities it offers in terms of administration, management and user experience.
VMware has merged its two marketplaces into a single platform called VMware Marketplace. Until now, the solutions supported and verified by this manufacturer could be published, depending on their characteristics, in the VMware Solution Exchange or/and in the VMware Cloud Marketplace.
Thanks to its versatility, UDS Enterprise was present in both catalogs. Now, the connection broker for Windows and Linux desktop and application virtualization is included in the new VMware ecosystem.
The university centers are designing what the return to the classrooms will be like next September. It will undoubtedly be a different beginning of the academic year, marked by the demands of the “new normal” due to Covid-19.
The Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) is already preparing to adopt the necessary security measures to face the Coronavirus. Among them, they have decided to reduce as much as possible that students have to go to the computer rooms located on campus. In order to do this, most of the applications needed to carry out their teaching practices will be available through virtual desktops with UDS Enterprise.
UDS Enterprise has always been closely linked to educational environments. So it is not surprising that many students choose this software as the cornerstone of their projects. This is the case of three students who have completed the Administration of Computer Network Systems course at the Nicolau Copèrnic Institute, in Terrassa (Catalonia). Cristian Gallardo, Manuel Farfán and Marc Sisó have used UDS Enterprise for their Final Degree Project, which they have titled MCM & CLOUD. They have documented how to offer virtual desktops and applications through a web browser with UDS Enterprise and XCP-ng, the Open Source hypervisor based on XenServer.
