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.

The Linux Foundation has released this week its second annual Guide to the Open Cloud, with a compillation of Open Source projects used by organizations to build from scratch its open clouds.
The report includes 18 new projects that are becoming increasingly important within the sector. Among them, we find oVirt virtualization platform and UDS Enterprise appears highlighted in this part of the guide (page 15) as one of the projects that actively supports this initiative endorsed by Red Hat. UDS Enterprise is compatible with oVirt and the use of both solutions, together with KVM hypervisor, enables you to deploy Open Source virtual desktops.
The initial version of Hyper-V only supported one minimal feature for Linux virtual machines (VM) through the installation of an additional component called Linux Integration Services (LIS). But recently, Microsoft has been working with providers to add new features without having to install SIL in newer Linux distributions.
One of the most awaited is the Dynamic Memory. The addition and removal of memory are now fully compatible with virtual machines running on a Windows Server Linux 2012 R2 Hyper-V host. It is important to note that this function is only available for 64-bit Linux distros and in some of them it is necessary to enable support, for example in CentOS and Red Hat Linux distributions.
Red Hat and SUSE gave up Ext file system last year and started using Btrfs and XFS. For this reason, many users are wondering whether they should follow the steps of the two main professional Linux distributions in the market and stop using Btrfs on their PC. It’s been verified that Btrfs has really good advanced features which improve storage’s management and security. Thus, it is suitable for system administrators. Meanwhile, XFS seems to be the perfect solution for virtualization, data base, app and cloud environments, where speed and scalability are needed.
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.
