UDS & oVirt, Login PI and hardware for VDI

The review in Red Hat’s Open Source Community blog about the VDI project with UDS Enterprise and oVirt in the University of Seville, the new software developed by Login VSI to monitor virtual desktop’s performance and the hardware requirements to deploy a desktop virtualization platform have been the most read topics in our blog for the last two weeks.

OVirt & UDS Enterprise keep VDI alive

Login PI available: VDI performance monitoring

What hardware do I need to deploy a VDI platform?

Login PI available: VDI performance monitoring

Yesterday we had the opportunity to listen Brian Madden and Gabe Knuth, well-known virtualization experts, presenting Login PI, new Login VSI solution that monitors virtual desktop performance.

This new tool, gives IT the advantage of understanding the current end user experience within their VDI environment by using highly realistic synthetic users instead of production end users.

Minimize risks in public cloud

Minimize risks in public cloud

Data security is one of the issues that most concern companies when deciding about public or private cloud.

Usually, organizations tend to be more skeptical with public cloud, but there are a number of tests that can be run to identify and fix possible security holes in this type of clouds.

In order to perform these tests, first you will have select a fragment of the cloud environment that you want to test and then, you will be ready to define the strategy to be followed.

What software do I need to deploy a VDI platform?

What software do I need to deploy a VDI platform?

Earlier this week we published a post explaining the minimum hardware components required to deploy a VDI platform. Today we focus on the software components we may have:

-Hypervisor Software. The software that is installed on the server infrastructure and that is responsible for assigning memory, processing, network and disk resources to the virtual machines hosted on the platform.

-Virtual image machine or golden image. Virtual machine with the necessary OS and applications installed in order to perform a subsequent deployment of the virtual desktops based on this image.

The quest for interoperability at Protocols Plugfest Europe

The quest for interoperability at Protocols Plugfest Europe

Protocols Plugfest Europe 2015 will be held next May 12, 13 and 14 at Zaragoza (Spain). This conference will bring together experts from leading technology companies and Open Source projects so that they can share visions, experiences and technical knowledge to help advance the industry in its quest for interoperability.

This event reinforces the collaboration on interoperability and protocols between Open Source and non-Open Source companies and projects. The agenda includes technical and business insights from Microsoft, Red Hat, CENATIC, SerNet, Dell, Collabora, KDE, FSFE, RavenDB, Kolab Systems, LibreOffice, Igalia, BlueMind, Bitergia, Samba, OpenChange, Libelium, Griffin Brown Publishing, id law partners and Hibernating Rhinos.
