The experience of the university centers with UDS Enterprise deploying Linux virtual desktops, the annual Red Hat event held in Madrid and the incorporation of the last version of the virtualization platform oVirt to the list of hypervisors supported by the UDS Enterprise connection broker have been the most popular topics of our blog during the month of October.
The success of Linux VDI deployments is based on the proper choice of all components that make up the infrastructure. Regardless of the chosen connection broker, experts warn that only a correct combination of the connection protocol and the Linux window manager will provide a good user experience.
Undoubtedly one of the outstanding features of our VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise is native support of Linux desktops. In fact, in many cases it has been a decisive feature for our customers to opt for our software. This is the case of the Autonomous University of Madrid . Julio Álvarez, Systems Manager of the IT Support Technical Unit of this center, explains that they chose UDS Enterprise because “we wanted to deploy Linux desktops and it was the only VDI solution that allowed us to do it“.
One of the many new features that the new release of UDS Enterprise incorporates is the support of the latest version of oVirt. Our technicians have carried out the relevant compatibility tests that guarantee the perfect integration and the optimal operation of a joint VDI & VApp solution with oVirt 4.1.
After the summer break, we have daily updated our blog with interesting news about our VDI UDS Enterprise connection broker, and we have echoed the most relevant information in the sector of virtualization in general and desktop virtualization in particular, and about software and Open Source developments.
The latest release of UDS Enterprise has exciting new features in connectivity to Windows and Linux virtual desktops. In addition to new options for connecting through HTML5, UDS Enterprise 2.1 incorporates novelties related to the RDP connection protocol that translate into a better and more secure user experience.
