There are Linux-based (either Debian, SUSE or, of course, Red Hat) desktop virtualization solutions which are fully Open Source. Any modern version of a Linux distribution incorporates support for KVM, so if your hardware allows it, it turns the operating system into a hypervisor platform. On this basis we install oVirt, which will be responsible for transforming the Linux into a node of our virtualization system.
Finally, we will need a virtual desktop management platform as UDS Enterprise, which has a fully Open Source version and, in the same way as Red Hat, there is the possibility of hiring support, updates, patches and maintenance.
Our team’s tips to make the most of the new version of oVirt and the creation and management of virtual classrooms with KVM have been the most read topics in our blog for the last weeks.
In case you didn’t have the opportunity to have a look at these articles when we published them, here you are the links:
At the end of a class, each student has changed many aspects of virtual machines (VM). In order to prepare them for the next class, it is important to be able to return them to its original state as soon as possible. The Logical Volume Manager snapshots are useful in these cases.
The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) is a method that has been used successfully on Linux for many years and managing storage in a flexible way. Instead of working with fixed storage allocation units, LVM work with versatile volumes that can be extended or reduced very easily. These volumes offer also other benefits, like the snapshots.
Online learning through virtual classrooms is becoming increasingly widespread. For companies that wish to join this trend, virtualization with KVM is a good option, because that enables you to deliver a remote high-quality education at a very affordable price. In this article, we explain the hardware and memory requirements to set up an environment based on KVM to offer online courses. Our VDI multiplatform connection broker for Windows and Linux, UDS Enterprise, is fully compatible with KVM.
Considering the current development of hardware, it is not necessary to pay a lot of money for hardware that work properly. You only should look for the most suitable according to quality and price, like Intel NUC.
