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.

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.
Our analysis about KVM hypervisor management tools and the cost savings by migrating from a desktop virtualization platform with vSphere to another with oVirt have been the most read articles in our blog during the first half of December.
