One of the important issues that must be evaluated before deploying a VDI project is whether the virtual desktops are going to be persistent or non-persistent. The UDS Enterprise team has analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of the two options to make the most appropriate decision for each business. Below we sum up the features of persistent desktops and throughout this week we will publish another post on non-persistent desktops.

On 28 and 29 October the V International Conference on Virtual Campus will be held in Panama City organized by the Technological University of Panama and the University Network Virtual Campus.

To do so, work areas such as educational innovation, the development of technological support tools or virtualization and internationalization of education will be discussed.
