A few days ago we talked about the Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA) developed by the University of Murcia (UMU) to provide students with disabilities or learning difficulties with more efficient accessibility to computer tools that make learning much easier for them. In this article we will delve into the architecture of the project, where our UDS Enterprise VDI broker is a key piece: it is the software that manages and deploys virtual desktops, facilitating the connection between the different components of the VDI platform. Allows users to access programs and applications through the specific channel defined by the administrator.
The University of Murcia presented during Docencia-Net session at the RedIRIS Working Groups held at the end of 2019 an interesting and innovative project that provides access to computer tools that make learning much easier for students with disabilities or learning difficulties. The Virtual Desktop for Special Education (EVITA in its Spanish acronym) provides specific instruments for these types of students, such as text readers or dictation software. The VDI connection broker UDS Enterprise is a key element that make the optimal operation possible.
As you know, the UDS Enterprise and XCP-ng developer companies have been working together for some time to offer customers a highly competitive 100% Open Source VDI solution both technically and economically.
From the beginning, the XCP-ng community has shown great interest in the connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. The UDS Enterprise team receives daily requests to download the software, inquiries about its operation and about the integration with the hypervisor developed by Vates. Therefore, a few months ago we decided to open a specific thread in the XCP-ng forum on the compatibility of both solutions.
We begin the year by unveiling some of the new features that will be incorporated to the next version of our connection broker for desktop and application virtualization. We confirm that UDS Enterprise 3.0 will add support for Hyper-V in cluster.
In our last article of the year before taking a short break for Christmas, we will recap the articles in our blog that have been most successful during this year. In this way, we take the pulse of the most outstanding news about VDI and Open Source according to the criteria of our readers and offer the opportunity to finish the year well informed to those who have not yet had the opportunity to take a look at these articles.
