Over last years, more and more companies are embracing remote working and allow employees to work from home at least part time. This new trend presents new challenges, but all of them can be solved thanks to desktop virtualization, which helps IT to control work environments both inside or outside the office.
For many companies considering work from home as an option, one of the firsts issues they face is how to manage software licenses. If an employee needs a licenced application for work, it must be installed both in the computer he uses at the office and at home, therefore licensing costs double.
Open Source tools provide significant flexibility and cost savings to companies and users, since they can be easiliy customized according to each project and cut the costs of privative software’s licenses.
Mainly for these reasons, experts recommed using this type of software, moreover when the main goal is to evaluate a technology.
Any remote desktop service can be managed using a single tool: UDS Enterprise.
Our multiplatform connection broker for Windows and Linux systems enables the administration of users access to services such as virtual desktops, physical desktops, applications, e-Learning platforms like Moodle, IP phone, cloud services, IP cameras and shared resources.
Thin clients are one useful option for VDI access. Some of these devices don’t require antimalware software, as they are secure enough by their own.
But some others require extra protection in order to assure data and users security. One example are repurposed PCs as thin clients, since although they are not usually configured to run software locally, they are tecnically vulnerable to different types of malware.
Cloning a virtual machine (VM) and creating a VM template are similar processes, since both make it easier to build and deploy VMs, but they serve different purposes in a virtual desktops infrastructure.
A VM clone is a VM copy performed at a specific time, an exact copy of the latest saved version, with the same configuration settings and identifiers. This may cause interoperability issues. Each clone can be modified as needed while the original VM keeps the same, so new changes or new copies can be made.
The choice of UDS Enterprise as best VDI tech and pricing proposal by a commitee comprised of experts from more than 20 Spanish universities, the video showing how application virtualization with UDS Enterprise works and a list of Open Source firewalls for SMBs have been the most read posts in our blog during the last weeks.
