Grazed from Stratodesk and Imprivata

Stratodesk, the creator of NoTouch Desktop and long-time partner of Imprivata, has announced an updated, feature-complete integration with Imprivata OneSign. NoTouch enables users to leverage the power of Imprivata OneSign to access workstations and applications by simply tapping their proximity badges, scanning their fingerprints, swiping their smart cards, or using a wide array of additional authentication modalities.

The integration also supports Imprivata OneSign Fast User Switching (FUS), which allows multiple users to quickly and securely log in to shared workstations. Secondary authentication, which is increasingly becoming necessary for the prescription of controlled substances, is also supported in both Citrix and VMware VDI environments. By combining the ease and power of NoTouch OS with healthcare’s leading single sign-on and virtual desktop access platform from Imprivata, NoTouch customers will have unparalleled secure access to clinical information and applications across all endpoints, PCs, Thin Clients, laptops, and the new Citrix Workspace Hub.

Microsoft’s revealed a plan to make Ubuntu 18.04 a "first-class" guest under Hyper-V.

Microsoft’s definition of first-class may sound a bit ho-hum for users of other desktop hypervisors, as it includes window resizing, a clipboard that goes from host to guest and back again, something Microsoft’s called a "Better mouse experience", Drive redirection and the Enhanced Session Mode that allows a guest to access host hardware. The Register’s virtualization desk has enjoyed such features for quite some time in VirtualBox and VMware’s desktop hypervisors.

 

Grazed from Inpixon

Inpixon, a leading indoor positioning and data analytics company, today announced it will use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to deliver a greater range of high-availability Software as a Service (SaaS) offerings. With the adoption of AWS, Inpixon’s Indoor Positioning Analytics (IPA) platform is able to offer a solution that provides both on-premises security monitoring and cloud-hosted intelligence analytics.

“After extensive research and several successful test scenarios, we are very confident that AWS is the right choice for Inpixon’s IPA,” said Shirish Tangirala, Inpixon CPO. “IPA’s analytics engine requires a robust, high-performance infrastructure to compute an immense amount of locational data captured hourly by our sensors in order to deliver positional accuracy and intelligence. Based on performance, scalability, and security, AWS is the ideal fit.”

When the first concepts for mobile computing were shown, there was a lot of scepticism from audiences towards the idea’s potential, especially with regards to the current active presence of desktop computers all around us. However, it’s not hard to see the potential in this solution, especially when one considers the growing attention towards smartphones and tablets on one hand, and the rapid development of the market for casual computer users on the other.
