Unicon, the provider of the eLux Linux-based OS, developed a new native Linux client that will allow eLux 7 to support Microsoft Azure virtual desktop and Windows 365. This built-in support for Microsoft cloud virtualization will expand the options available for existing Unicon customers and unlock new possibilities for future ones.
The eLux OS offers a secure, stable and cost-effective platform for desktop virtualization. Unicon’s continued commitment to innovation made it possible to engage with Microsoft to deliver new functionality in eLux 7 that retains the core capabilities of eLux while delivering a no-compromises user experience for those working in the Microsoft cloud.
The new native client for eLux 7 makes it possible for Unicon customers to benefit from Azure virtual desktop features such as Windows 11 and 10 multi-session, as well as personalized persistent Cloud PC experiences delivered by Windows 365.
The new eLux 7 client is available as a public preview and will be introduced with the upcoming eLux 7 release.
“The market for delivering cloud-based computing experiences to end users is changing dramatically,” said Phillip Benkler, Unicon’s CEO. “The new native AVD/Win 365-client for eLux 7 allows us to give customers more flexibility and functionality while still delivering the familiar and tested Linux OS experience users are accustomed to.”
“eLux 7 support for Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 is a step forward in expanding the audience for cloud virtualization solutions,” said VP of product, Azure virtual desktop and Windows 365, Scott Manchester. “Our collaboration with Unicon helped them deliver a client that ensures a seamless experience for accessing Azure Virtual Desktop and Windows 365 on eLux.”
