After successfully implementing desktop virtualization for their 37,000 students and 900 teachers and professors, the IT Department of the Université Catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) decided to go one step further and take advantage of another feature of the UDS Enterprise connection broker: application virtualization.
The presentation at RedIRIS Technical Conference where the project of virtualization of computer classrooms at the Public University of Navarre with UDS Enterprise and Nutanix was presented is the post in our blog that got most visits during the past month of June.
The University of the Balearic Islands was not the only educational organization that wanted to share with all the attendees at RedIRIS Technical Conference their experience with the UDS Enterprise connection broker for deploying and managing their desktop virtualization project. The Public University of Navarra (UPNA) also explained how they approached the implementation of VDI, in his case with the UDS Enterprise + Nutanix joint solution.
How to fix the typical issues of the environment of students and administration and services staff with a desktop virtualization infrastructure. This was the starting point of the interesting presentation offered by Xavier Pons, Head of the Infrastructure Area of the Information Technology Centre of the University of the Balearic Islands (UIB), at the RedIRIS Technical Conference held in Seville at the end of past May. He narrated the experience of the Information Technology Center (ITC) of the UIB in the management of their VDI platform, which has helped them to tackle the complexity of a heterogeneous and complex IT environment.
Like every month, in this article we’re collecting the publications in our blog that have aroused most interest among the UDS Enterprise community, so that you can keep an eye on the most outstanding news on Open Source, virtualization and VDI according to our own followers.
Given the great acceptance of the 100% Open Source VDI solution that we launched together with our technology partner Vates, composed of the XCP-ng hypervisor, the Xen Orchestra management interface and the UDS Enterprise connection broker, and the multiple benefits that an open infrastructure provides to the Education Sector, we have decided to facilitate the adoption to all educational organizations with a special promotion aimed at this sector.
