How to create a VDI infrastructure with VMware vSphere

How to create a VDI infrastructure with VMware vSphere

Today we continue with our posts series about VDI deployments with the main hypervisors in the market. After dealing with Hyper-V and oVirt, today we talk about VMware vSphere. Our VDI connection broker for Windows and Linux easily integrates with vSphere, since its components are offered in Virtual Appliance format. The elements that make up UDS Enterprise are hosted on the same VMware vSphere platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed by very simple steps.

Once the initial steps have been completed, the UDS Enterprise components are interconnected to each other and are subsequently connected to the platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed. At this time, we will obtain a robust and efficient virtual desktop platform that is prepared to administer and manage the virtual desktops deployed on VMware vSphere, with the virtual desktops now ready for users to connect.

VMware unveils vCloud for NFV with integrated OpenStack

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.
