The Citrix CEO Mark Templeton has announced that they will end sales on VDI-in-a-Box. This decision is part of a series of actions that the company is performing in order to reduce the number of products in its portfolio and give greater weight to the ones that generate higher benefits.
Templeton said that this desktop virtualization solution “will be replaced by a more simple one which will have a more competitive price”, but he hasn’t given any detail in this regard so far.
UDS Enterprise 1.7 incorporates an on-screen keyboard when accessing to our virtual desktop using any mobile OS, thanks to the incorporation of Guacamole’s latest enhancements.
This new feature allows you to enable a virtual keyboard using a simple gesture on mobile devices, which will facilitate to a great extent the management of virtual desktops from this type of devices.
The incorporation of this keyboard joins the list of new features included in the next version of UDS Enterprise, which will be released at the end of Q1 of this year 2015.
Ubuntu’s new file system for LXC, UDS Enterprise’s full support for XenServer and the presentation by our team at CRUE-TIC & RedIRIS VDI Conference were the most read posts during the past weeks.

VMware debuted VMware vCloud for NFV, an integrated Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) platform that will combine VMware’s production-proven virtualized compute, networking, storage and management solutions with integrated OpenStack support.
With support for more than 40 different virtual network functions (VNFs) from more than 30 vendors, VMware vCloud for NFV is the only platform available today that runs different VNFs from different vendors side by side on the same unified platform for the cloud.
With vCloud for NFV, communication service providers (CSPs) can deploy NFV solutions into production on a proven platform to achieve faster time to market for new and differentiated services while driving sustainable cost reductions.
