Open Source continues to be one of the most interesting topics according to our readers. In fact, during last two weeks, two of the most read articles in our blog talk about this topic. In particular, the most highlighted posts talk about the deployment of a VDI architecture with oVirt, Open Source tools for developers and the creation of a desktop virtualization platform with vSphere.
In our post today we are going to explain how to deploy a complete Open Source VDI solution with oVirt and our connection broker for Windows and Linux UDS Enterprise. Integrating UDS Enterprise with oVirt is carried out by simple steps, since the different components are offered in a Virtual Appliance format.
Through these very intuitive instructions, the UDS Enterprise components are hosted on the oVirt platform on which the virtual desktops are going to be deployed. Having completed the hosting phase and following a simple configuration process, the UDS Enterprise components go from being independent elements to forming a user station management platform, integrating themselves with the oVirt platform on which the virtual desktops are to be deployed.
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.
In case you didn’t have the chance to read them, find below the links to these posts:
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.

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.
