The UDS Enterprise VDI and vApp connection broker allows you to choose among several options when displaying Linux virtual applications to users. The administrators of the platform can decide if they want users to see each Linux vApp individually, as independent services, or if they prefer them to be shown all grouped, as a single service. The image below shows an example of each case:
The UDS Enterprise team recommends a series of configurations when planning a deployment of Linux virtual applications using this VDI & vApp connection broker.
The first one refers to the persistence of the virtual desktops where the vApp will be deployed. It is advisable to use non-persistent desktops, so that when a user finishes using a virtual application, the desktop where the application is running is removed.
On Saturday December 1st 2018, the computer test of the public examinations for the auxiliary staff of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands was carried out. This exam was held at the campus of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), leveraging the virtual desktops platform with UDS Enterprise implemented in their computer classrooms.
In addition to Windows and Linux virtual desktops and Windows virtual applications, the UDS Enterprise connection broker allows you to deploy Linux vvApp. The creation of these vApp has no particular difficulty for the administrators of the platform, since is the same as for a VDI.
With the VDI & vApp connection broker UDS Enterprise 2.2 users can access their virtual Windows applications using any device regardless of the operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS, Android, Windows Phone…). The only requirement for the terminal is including a current web browser.
The video on the Case Study presented by the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) past November at OpenNebulaConf 2018 is now available. We recall that this Belgian university uses the joint VDI solution made up by the UDS Enterprise connection broker and OpenNebula to provide access to Windows and Linux virtual desktops for their 37,000 students.
