The University of Murcia (UMU) reacted quickly to the current complicated health situation by developing a Contingency Plan for the Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic. The Area of Information Technologies and Applied Communications (ATICA) outlined a wide range of tools to facilitate teaching, research, learning and management tasks online. Desktop virtualization with UDS Enterprise is playing a key role so that all university groups can continue to perform their functions from home.
Last week VMware announced the general availability of the new version of its hypervisor. Just four days after its launch, the UDS Enterprise team confirms that the connection broker for desktop and application virtualization supports vSphere 7.0.
After making the necessary adjustments to the software, the experts behind this VDI broker have carried out rigorous compatibility tests in their laboratories to verify the perfect interoperability of a virtual desktops solution with UDS Enterprise and VMware vSphere 7.0.
The Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) has been relying for years on desktop and application virtualization with UDS Enterprise to centralize the management of the computer classrooms of all the schools and faculties on their campuses. Students and teachers have been enjoying the flexibility of being able to access all the teaching software at any time, from any place and device. This solution was also implemented in several UPV university departments and services, which were already enjoying its advantages, such as high availability of applications and greater data security. Thanks to its commitment to this technology, the Information and Communications Systems Area has been able to implement a contingency plan for Covid-19 in a few hours.
The newspaper El Economista, leader of the economic press in Spain and surpassed only by The Wall Street Journal at an international level, has echoed the advantages of using UDS Enterprise as a remote working solution.
To analyze the challenges faced by organizations that have to implement remote work quickly due to the current health crisis, this newspaper has published a complete interview with Félix Casado, CEO of Virtual Cable, a company that develops and supports the UDS Enterprise connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. The full interview is available at this link.
Remote work was gradually being installed in our lives; some companies were progressively implementing it. But the current health crisis is accelerating this process and is leading companies to look for a solution that helps their employees to continue working from home as fast as possible to keep the production cycle alive at the lower cost that this situation allows. Desktop and application virtualization is an essential technology to provide a fast, efficient and secure solution.
When designing the infrastructure that will make remote working viable, it is convenient to analyze the needs of each group of users, so that all of them can carry out their tasks seamlessly. Workstations using graphics-intensive applications require a special mention, since if the right components are not used, it will be impossible to provide a good user experience. Choosing an appropriate connection protocol is essential to provide the best performance at both image and audio level.
