The election of UDS Enterprise as best on premise VDI solution by CRUE-TIC and RedIRIS, the BriForum conference which will be held this week in Denver and the availability of UDS Enterprise Online Demo have been the most outstanding topics in our blog for the last two weeks.

A committee comprised by experts from more than 20 Spanish universities have chosen UDS Enterprise as best On Premise VDI solution and second VDI Cloud solution after evaluating solutions from 15 VDI vendors.
Its “ease of use, implementation, management and deployment, its response to incidents, its stability and the integration with other applications, as Moodle” are some of the features that led it above solutions such as VMware Horizon, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization or Citrix XenDesktop.
An identity federation or federated identity is the means of linking a person’s electronic identity and attributes, stored across multiple distinct identity management systems. It allows using single sign-on (SSO), in which a user’s single authentication ticket, or token, is trusted across multiple IT systems, organizations, companies or entities.
It is a very useful way of sharing information between organizations whithout sharing security, authentication or directory technologies.
The education sector is one of those taking advantage of this technologies. An example is CONFIA identity fedetarion, composed by several universities from Andalusia (Spain), which main goal is to enable persons belonging to this community use distributed services using the credentials of their home university.
In previous posts we talked about Remote PCs project we are developing together with the University os Seville and the University of Malaga, which is focused on offering teachers and students the possibility to access the computers in ITC classrooms during non-school hours. In this article we’re explaining how they will access the resources which will be available 24×7.
They will access in the same way they do it today: through Moodle e-learning platform, thus the authentication handicap would be solved, because the users access the virtual campus with their regular users and passwords.
During the last two weeks the most read articles in our blog were the selection of guides about OpenStack, the case study about the VDI platform in the University of Sevilla with UDS Enterprise & oVirt and the new features of UDS Enterprise, in particular the on-screen keyboard for mobile operating systems.
