Adopting virtual desktops greatly affects the desktops’ lifecycle in each of its stages, improving operations and providing better customer service and updates management as well as desktop security.
Today we begin a series of posts dealing with each one of the desktop lifecycle stages and the resulting improvements that come from implementing virtual PCs.
First of all we are going to talk about Planning. During this stage, the server platform, shared storage and software that will manage the virtual desktop fleet are defined. In this case, calculations are made to determine which shared resources are needed to host the virtual desktops. Making a pilot or concept test is essential in this phase.
UDS Enterprise releases a new new section of its website: the Newsroom.
Here you will find all the information related to the connection broker spread by the media and on the websites of technology partners such as OpenStack, oVirt or Citrix.
You can find all technical information about the software, white papers and manuals in the Documents section.
Our analysis about KVM hypervisor management tools and the cost savings by migrating from a desktop virtualization platform with vSphere to another with oVirt have been the most read articles in our blog during the first half of December.
Below you can find the links to these 3 posts so you don’t lose track of the most outstanding information according to our followers:
Economic costs may be one of the major obstacles when it comes to deploy a virtual desktop infrastructure. But, if instead of using licensed tools we undertake the project with Open Source tools, the costs drops dramatically.
That was precisely the option chosen by the University of Sevilla, since its goal was to save as much as possible without giving up the best service, performance and availability.
In the first of our posts on KVM hypervisor management tools we talked about oVirt and today we borrow again vMiss.net article to talk about Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (RHEV).
RHEV is another set of tools that may be used to manage KVM. It provides features such as live migration of virtual machines and storage, high availability and support for virtual desktop infrastructure.
