Moodle is the first e-Learning platform that allows assigning and accessing Windows and Linux virtual desktops and applications as if they were a didactic resource.

VirtualCable today announced a collaboration with Teradici to provide its customers with access to graphics-intensive virtual desktops and applications.
VirtualCable EMEA customers purchasing a subscription of the UDS Enterprise connection broker will enjoy up to 50% discount on Teradici Cloud Access Software licenses.
