Moodle is the first e-Learning platform that allows assigning and accessing Windows and Linux virtual desktops and applications as if they were a didactic resource. This pioneering functionality has been developed thanks to the versatility of the UDS Enterprise connection broker, the software that provides access to VDI and vApp through the most used Open Source online learning platform in the world.
VirtualCable today announced a collaboration with Teradici to provide its customers with access to graphics-intensive virtual desktops and applications.
VirtualCable EMEA customers purchasing a subscription of the UDS Enterprise connection broker will enjoy up to 50% discount on Teradici Cloud Access Software licenses. Regular discounts will be applied to Education sector clients, who will also receive great advantages when acquiring the combined offering.
The latest version of the UDS Enterprise connection broker offers the possibility of deploying virtual desktops and applications with the different stable versions of the Ubuntu Linux operating system.
The UDS Enterprise development team has created two versions of the UDS Actor to adapt this component to the particularities of the different releases of this OS and thus improve its efficiency in the management of Ubuntu VDI & vApp. The UDS Actor is the agent that is installed in the virtual machines that are used as templates to deploy virtual desktops and applications.
As you can see in the image below, administrators using UDS Enterprise 2.2.1 will find in the “Downloads” section of their user menu two UDS actors for Linux distributions based on Debian, which is the valid actor for the Ubuntu OS.
The UDS Enterprise team has published a new and useful guide including the technical and system requirements that must be taken into account when designing a desktop and application virtualization platform with this connection broker.
The UDS Enterprise connection broker is compatible with Windows Server 2019 for desktop and application virtualization. The administrators of this VDI broker can now make virtual desktops available to users with the latest version of the Microsoft operating system. They also have the possibility of deploying virtual applications hosted on Windows Server 2019 servers.
