A few days ago we talked about the Remote PCs project developed by UDS Enterprise together with the University of Seville and the University of Malaga in order to access the computers in the ICT classroom during non-school hours.
Today we are going to deal with the new functionalities that will have UDS Enterprise working together with the Open Source management application of ICT classrooms OpenGnsys.
The VDI architecture used by the University of Sevilla, the improvements in Citrix XenServer Workload Balancing an the new mobile virtual infrastruture have been the top 3 topics in our blog during the last two weeks.
Find below the links to these posts and have a look at them to find out why our followers have found them so interesting:
VDI architecture with oVirt, KVM & UDS Enterprise
Analysis: improvements in Citrix XenServer Workload Balancing
After VDI there comes VMI, the virtual mobile infrastructure
A few weeks ago we told you how the University of Sevilla achieved a significant cost saving migrating from vsphere to oVirt. Today we come back to this topic to describe the VDI architecture used by this organization to make the most out of its resources.
First of all, it is necessary to have a suitable chassis to the virtual infrastructure deployed. The University of Sevilla uses Dell Blade iron they already had and they have been incorporating Blade servers to add new elements to the infrastructure. In this way, the initial investment was not too expensive, and as you can extend it easity, it turns out to be a quite affordable solution and easy to pay off.
The information about the Remote PCs project, the differences between ESXi and Hyper-V and virtualization of graphic station environments have been the most interesting topics during the last two weeks according to our followers.

Remote PCs with UDS Enterprise & OpenGnSys
The University of Sevilla and the University of Malaga are working with the UDS Enterprise development team in the Remote PC project, which grants access to the ICT classroom computers during out-of-school time in order to optimize the existing resources and access the specialized laboratories. In addition, PCs, memories and CPUs that have become obsolete or that are no longer used, have now a new and important role, which means an important cost saving and allows to make the most of the current computer park. In this way, the university meets the demand of students who increasingly use their own devices and gets cost savings in software licences.
