VDI golden images allow to deploy several virtual desktops based on a single base image. This configuration simplifies a lot desktop management but also complicates updates.
A VDI golden image contains an operating system and hardware configuration. Windows-based images can be managed using Microsoft Sysprep tool in order to clone the OS. The image usually contains also patches and applications, but applications can be also virtualized separately.
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.
The experience of Carlos III University of Madrid with UDS Enterprise to deploy and manage virtual desktops for students, teachers and administrative staff, the functionalities and benefits regarding simplicity, security and management provided by UDS Actor and the new features introduced in XenServer new release have been the most visited topics in our blog for the last weeks.
