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.
