Review: vCloud 9.5 HTML5 Tenant Interface

After quite some time dealing with vCloud Director's flash interface I was pleased to discover that VMWare was seriously considering a complete rebuild into HTML5. Although the initial version was not entirely fully featured, it was a long needed change in style, speed and usability that flash interfaces seemed never to be able to achieve.

Now, we are pleased to introduce the latest installment the new HTML5 Tenant Interface in all its glory. From the first look I was very impressed but after giving it a good whirl I'm glad to say that it does not disappoint. It's the first time a competitor to the flash interface has given us real control.

Securing Your Terminal / Remote Desktop Server

Remotely accessing your servers and workstations through terminal services or RDP is an easy method of doing your job from a remote location, or gaining access to specific published applications that have been published on your servers. However, without properly investing in securing these types of RDP connections, you could be compromising the security and integrity of your servers, the data on them, and the services they’re providing.
