UDS Enterprise: a flexible digital workplace platform

UDS Enterprise allows deploying and managing virtual desktops (VDI), virtualized applications (vApp), and remote access to physical equipment from a single platform.

It provides secure 24/7 access to corporate resources from anywhere and any device, adapting the environment to the needs of each user and organization.

Three solutions in one environment

IT teams can manage:

• Virtual Windows and Linux desktops
• Windows and Linux applications
• Remote access to physical Windows, Linux, and macOS equipment
• Users, groups, permissions, and access policies

Each user finds only authorized resources in a simple and customizable interface with the organization's corporate identity.

Multi-site management and operational control

UDS Enterprise allows managing users and resources distributed across different locations, branches, countries, or infrastructures from a single console.

It enables the application of homogeneous policies, permission assignment, and service monitoring. Its observability and reporting capabilities provide data on usage and environment status to facilitate decision-making.

Open architecture and technological flexibility

UDS Enterprise is based on open-source technologies and has an open architecture compatible with different virtualization platforms, cloud providers, authentication systems, and connection protocols.

It allows building on-premises, cloud, hybrid, or multi-cloud environments and combining different technologies. This flexibility helps to:

• Leverage existing investments and licenses
• Choose the right technology for each workload
• Progressively incorporate new solutions
• Avoid dependence on a single manufacturer
• Expand or replace components without redoing the entire environment

Each organization maintains control over its evolution and preserves its technological freedom of choice.

Security and compliance

UDS Enterprise incorporates a centralized access, management, and control layer. It is the only VDI solution certified in the National Security Framework (NSF) and includes capabilities aligned with Zero Trust principles:

• Native multi-factor authentication (MFA)
• Split authentication
• Integration with different identity systems
• Centralized application of permissions and access policies
• Protection of connections and corporate data

These capabilities help organizations advance in their compliance strategies for GDPR, DORA, and NIS2.

Customized user experience

The platform offers a homogeneous experience from different devices and locations. Administrators can adapt the interface, resources, protocols, and policies to the needs of each profile.

The user always accesses the same work environment, regardless of where the virtual desktops, apps, or authorized physical equipment are hosted.

Efficiency, scalability, and continuity

Centralized management reduces administration and support tasks. Virtualization allows for better infrastructure utilization, device reuse, and cost optimization.

UDS Enterprise can expand or reduce resources as demand evolves and combine different environments to facilitate service continuity. This model contributes to reducing hardware and energy consumption and advancing towards a more sustainable digital workplace.

UDS Enterprise on IONOS Cloud

UDS Enterprise can be deployed on IONOS Cloud through a Bring Your Own License (BYOL) model.

This combination allows running desktops and applications on a secure, scalable, and EU-jurisdiction cloud infrastructure. Organizations can keep their data and workloads in European data centers and combine IONOS Cloud with other environments within a hybrid architecture.

IONOS Cloud provides performance, availability, and growth capacity, while UDS Enterprise centralizes digital workplace delivery and management. The ability to adjust resources to demand helps avoid overprovisioning and control costs.
