The versatility of UDS Enterprise allows connection to Linux machines using a wide variety of alternatives, among which are those that incorporate access via HTML5. The broker itself is responsible for automating the deployment of Linux virtual desktops, managing their life cycles at all times.
A user station based on Linux provides many advantages, for example, a greater security, since it is more difficult to attack this operating system through malware and the system complicates the execution of actions or the running of processes that are harmful. If it detects them, it isolates them very quickly thanks to its modular nature.
Last week we published a post describing some of UDS Enterprise 1.5 improvements . In this article we explain the remaining new features introduced by the new version of our desktop virtualization connection broker.
Both users and VDI administrators can now set up or disable the root user from the advanced configuration dashboard. In this way, the system can be configured to have root access from the login window.
UDS Enterprise 1.5 version shows some interesting new features which improve the experience of virtual desktops users and administrators. These include oVirt connector for KVM hypervisor update, that makes the system more robust. Besides, the development team has included support for Microsoft Hyper-V (non clustered) and Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization connectors.
Another innovation introduced in this new edition allows the assignement of transports to access using smartphones and tablets, because the broker is compatible with these devices. Moreover, the administration interface has been completely renewed allowing access to the broker via web from any device anywhere and anytime. All these improvements are achieved thanks to native HTML5 support.
The integration of UDS Enterprise with oVirt results in a completely Open Source virtual desktop management and administration solution. This mixture has unique features, such as a better management of the virtual desktops and savings in storage space thanks to differential disk technology, a more efficient management of the virtual desktop life cycle and the virtual network, allowing the deployment of virtual machines on different vSwitches, and a better user and multimedia experience with low consumption of bandwidth due to the use of the SPICE connection protocol.
Besides, using oVirt helps you achieve a greater concentration of virtual desktops when compared to other hypervisors, permits the assignment of more virtual memory to the virtual desktops than the physical server actually has available and load balancing, using the different physical servers of the platform according to different resource usage criteria.
VirtualCable development team is working on a Free Version of his desktop virtualization software, which will be available for download in this website.
UDS Enterprise Free Edition will include the same features as the paid version except from support and the number of users of virtual desktops that may be registered, that will be limited to 10.
This edition is really suitable for SMEs and other companies with a small number of computers or devices. Those interested in the broker will be able to use it free of charge.
