Citrix, one of VirtualCable’s technology alliances, has certified that UDS Enterprise has successfully undergone the verification tests to ensure full compatibility with XenServer 6.5.

In previous posts we analyzed 4 of the 5 UDS Enterprise components: UDS Server, UDS Tunneler, UDS Database and UDS Actor. Today it is UDS Plugin‘s turn, the last of UDS Enterprise components.

This software is installed in the connection client device (it supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS) to enable the connection to the different remote desktop services managed by UDS Enterprise through any connection protocol (transport) except HTML5.

Another UDS Enterprise key component is UDS Actor. It is the software responsible for the communication between the VDI connection broker and the different desktop services managed by UDS Enterprise: virtual and static desktops, applications…

This component configures virtual desktops according to the OS Manager set by the platform administrator, that contains some desktop features (operating system, persistent/non persistent, joined to domain…). In addition, it transmits data like the virtual desktop state, machine name, IP address, MAC, etc… so that the admin totally controls the virtual desktop at any time.
