A connection broker is a software element which connects users and resources. These resources usually are hosted in a datacenter and they can be either virtual or physical. The datacenter can be located inside the organization offices, in cloud or in a mixed environment and it can be private or rented.
From the broker administration dashboard we can define what virtual or physical resources are provided to each of our users or groups of users, for how long and with what kind of privileges.
In previous posts we talked about the advantages of desktop virtualization for organizations supporting remote employees. In addition to software licenses management and security, technical support is another improved service thanks to VDI.
If employees working from home don’t use virtual desktops, the help desk staff don’t know what operating systems, programs or applications each user has intalled in his computer.
Dell has decided to stop developing vWorkspaceVDI software, which was acquired a few years ago, in 2012.
The company explained they will continue offering support and updates to their current clients and they will also be able to expand their environments, but they will stop selling licenses to new customers and they won’t release any new vWorkspace version.
Many organizations considering desktop virtualization due to its great advantages, like cost savings and improved management of IT resources, face the challenge of how to administer virtual desktops lifecycle in a quick, easy and efficient way.
UDS Enterprise, the multiplatform connection broker for Windows and Linux, solves these issues, since it enables to fully manage VDI lifecycle.
Last week we talked about the advantages of desktop virtualization to face work from home challenges for IT departments, such as software licenses management. In this post we deal with one of the areas of greatest concern for most companies: security
When an employee works from home using a personal device, it is really difficult to guarantee that his computer adheres to the company’s security policies. IT administrators must check whether a device is 100% secure and if it has, for example, an outdated OS or if it is infested with malware.
