As we have already commented in previous articles, UDS Enterprise 3.0 supports different double and multi-factor authentication methods. Among the second ones is the AuthPoint solution. The company behind the product, WatchGuard, has carried out the integration of this system to implement an extra layer of security in user access to virtual desktops, virtual applications, and remote computers deployed by UDS Enterprise connection broker.
Application virtualization (vApp) is gaining ground in IT infrastructures from many organizations. To all the advantages of desktop virtualization (VDI), adds the simplicity of providing access only to the applications users need. UDS Enterprise is fully compatible with this technology. This popular software for VDI, vApp and remote access to physical and virtual machines allows centralized and automated deployment and management of Windows and Linux virtual applications.
To facilitate the implementation of this type of Windows solutions, the UDS Enterprise team has developed a complete manual that describes step by step how to deploy and configure a Windows virtual application platform with UDS Enterprise 3.0.
In recent times, educational centers have had to evolve from a technological point of view to adapt to the new needs. With the pandemic, mobility and distance learning have become the only way out to continue with training programs. These trends are here to stay, and now new challenges are added, such as managing a high number of personal devices.
In addition, eLearning has skyrocketed the number of students and the teaching offer. Therefore, IT infrastructures’ flexibility and scalability are indispensable requirements for schools, universities, institutes, and other educational centers.
Today, IT security is a critical issue for organizations in all industries. Keeping corporate information, sensitive data, and computer systems safe has become a priority. User access must be properly shielded to set a first effective firewall to prevent unwanted intrusions. For this reason, double or multi-factor authentication is an increasingly popular method. UDS Enterprise supports these authentication systems so that organizations can apply their own security policies on user access to virtual desktops, applications, and devices available for remote use.
The UDS Enterprise team continues to add new features focused on improving the software’s security and usability. Thanks to a significant new development, the platform for application, desktop virtualization, and remote access to physical and virtual machines integrates with Google Workspace.
As can be seen in the image below, users registered in the Google authentication service will find direct access to UDS Enterprise within the list of available services from their Gmail interface.
The OpenGnsys team has announced the release of a new maintenance version that incorporates interesting improvements in remotePC, the project that allows remote access to physical devices thanks to the interoperability of OpenGnsys with UDS Enterprise.
