UDS Enterprise connection broker requires a database to store all UDS system data, both from system setup (service providers, authenticators, transports…) and registries (users accesses to services, use of service pools, log…). The system uses all these data stored in the DB to generate reports and statistics, which are really useful to analyze the platform use and hence optimize its performance.
At the beginning of this week we talked about one of UDS Enterprise’s components, UDS Server. In this post we’re going to analyze the features and functionalities of UDS Enterprise Tunneler.
UDS Tunneler has two main roles: it performs secure connections to remote desktop services through WAN and enables HTML5 access to these services.
The VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise is made up of 5 elements that interact with each other: UDS Server, UDS Tunneler, UDS Database, UDS Actor and UDS Plugin.
In this post we’re going to describe UDS Server’s features and functionalities, and in forthcoming articles we’ll talk about the other ones.
Deploying a desktop virtualization platform with UDS Enterprise connection broker is a very easy task.
You only need a properly sized hardware platform for your deployment, a hypervisor and an authentication system that fits the project’s needs and the licenses for the Windows and Linux OS or vApp to virtualize.
In case of hypervisors, you can choose between Citrix XenServer, Microsoft Hyper-V, Nutanix Acropolis, RHEV KVM, oVirt KVM, VMware vSphere… or even enable several ones at the same time. UDS Enterprise allows to migrate from one hypervisor to another in a quick and effective way, providing great flexibility to the VDI infrastructure.
The UDS Enterprise team highly recommends keeping UDS Enterprise software always updated to enjoy the last functionalities and improvements added to each new release.
As described in this paper, UDS Enterprise update is a quick and easy process, but we should bear in mind that it can only be performed between contiguous versions.
