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.

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.
