Mobile Device Management – eine Lösung für alle Fälle Posted: 20 Mar 2013 02:51 AM PDT Ein befreundetes Ehepaar von mir werden demnächst Eltern. Da gab es natürlich allerhand zu organisieren und zu besorgen, aber ein Punkt auf der To-Do-Liste hat bei dem Paar für gehörig Zündstoff gesorgt: Die Autofrage. Die werdende Mutter, eine eher nüchterne Zeitgenossin, will ein möglichst geräumiges und sicheres Fahrzeug. Wenig verbrauchen soll der Wagen und nicht zu viel kosten. Sonderlack hält sie für unnötig, ein Standard-Grausilber… Read More

Начало эпохи свободных устройств? Posted: 20 Mar 2013 02:32 AM PDT Что отличает ваши личные смартфоны, планшеты и настольные компьютеры от миллионов других аналогичных устройств и делает их именно «вашими»? По большому счету, все устройства, работающие на одинаковых платформах, во многом идентичны. Уникальными их делают две вещи: хранящиеся на них личные данные и персональные настройки.   Я считаю, что уже в недалеком будущем люди будут менять мобильные устройства гораздо чаще, арендуя, обмениваясь и даже заимствуя их… Read More

Release: Oracle Comprehensive Management for Desktop Virtualization Posted: 20 Mar 2013 02:55 AM PDT Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c is aiming to become the single vendor desktop virtualization solution as now includes integration of Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software. Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure now supports Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.0.4. based virtual desktops, Oracle Linux 6 and Oracle Solaris 1.1. , among the new features  there is the ability to scale production installations from a single server to an enterprise deployment, adding as many servers as needed. Improvements highlighted include: Enhanced management: Oracle Enterprise Manager 12c integration provides an end-to-end management solution, allowing organizations to improve service levels by proactively monitoring and managing the performance and availability of Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software services and sessions, along with their enterprise applications and hardware, from a single console. Simplified deployment and easy scalability: Administrators can seamlessly expand up to enterprise-scale deployments by starting with a single commodity server, containing all the necessary components engineered to work together, including a virtualization platform, local storage and session management. By leveraging a new local storage high availability feature, administrators simply add hardware to extend capacity as demand grows, without the need to "rip and replace" the existing deployment. Improved handling of virtual desktop data: The personal hard drive feature of Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, which allows administrators to separate user data and settings from virtual desktop images, has been enhanced to support pre-populating user data when new virtual desktops are created, improving login performance and simplifying backups. A new "application hard drive" type reduces server load by storing just a single copy of applications used by many users. Administrative enhancements: Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure administrators can now schedule the time and date when new virtual desktop templates are published, allowing for unattended updates during off-peak hours. Richer user experience: Dynamic virtual desktop resizing and rotation improves usability of virtual desktops on iPad and Android tablets. The new releases also provide enhanced multimedia playback for Windows 7 desktop environments with up to 720p High Definition (HD) video in Windows Media Player on Sun Ray 3 Series Client devices. Improved security: New IPsec option provides encryption levels up to AES-256, securing communication between Sun Ray Clients and Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software servers. Linux-based deployments now provide smart card capabilities for Windows virtual desktops, including two factor authentication, PIN login, and identity and signature services. Wim Coekaerts, senior vice president, Linux and Virtualization Engineering, Oracle, declares: Only Oracle offers a comprehensive solution to deliver and manage virtual desktop environments, along with the enterprise applications they access, from a single console, the latest enhancements to Oracle Virtual Desktop Infrastructure and Sun Ray Software, and the integration with Oracle Enterprise Manager, help customers more easily deploy and manage virtual desktops securely from multiple locations and devices.
