Among the new features included in UDS Enterprise 2.0, he new version of our software that we released in late September, we highlight connectors for new service providers. In addition to the OpenStack and OpenNebula cloud architectures, this new release has a built-in support for oVirt 4.0.
UDS Enterprise 2.0 incorporates a new version of the UDS Actor for all supported Windows and Linux platforms and for application virtualization.
The new version of our software features important improvements. Among them, the number of supported operating systems for virtual desktops is extended. UDS Enterprise 2.0 enables the deployment of VDI Windows 2016. In this way, the UDS Enterprise reinforces its commitment to favor the compatibility with the latest technologies in the market today.
The VDI UDS Enterprise 2.0 connection broker supports OpenNebula as a hypervisor for accessing and managing Windows and Linux virtual desktops. In fact, our software has received the OpenNebula Ready certification, which guarantees the perfect integration of the two solutions and the correct operation of a joint infrastructure.
Among other advantages, UDS Enterprise gives OpenNebula unlimited flexibility, adds compatibility with practically any hypervisor, authenticator and connection protocol, and offers the possibility of using many of these components simultaneously.
In previous posts published in our blog we talked about the benefits of desktop virtualization included in the last report launched by IDC on Automation and flexible management of the workplace with VDI
In addition to the advantages of VDI, in this document the consulting firm also details the five main challenges most companies face when they are planning to adopt this technology:
–High initial investment in hardware and licenses: Many corporations require a fast return on investment. However, this does not always occur, due to the initial investment needed. Another factor is that the cost per user makes VDI virtually unfeasible for those companies with a large amount of users.
