Oxygen Cloud Platform Deploys Russian VDI Solution for Heavy 3D CAD Work in One Month
Oxygen Cloud Platform has shared details of a compressed one-month project that delivered a fully domestic VDI environment capable of running heavy 3D CAD applications for design engineers.
The unnamed customer, a Russian company that designs and manufactures complex equipment, required remote access to resource-intensive applications including Siemens NX, SolidWorks, and Kompas-3D on import-substituted hardware and software over a dedicated channel. Data had to remain inside a protected data center while remaining accessible to remote facilities located 1,500 km away.
From six-month R&D to one-month production rollout
After an earlier large-scale Astra Linux VDI deployment completed in ten days, the team allocated six months for thorough testing. When the new request arrived with an “as soon as possible” deadline, the accumulated knowledge had to be applied under tight time constraints.
Key technical challenges and resolutions included:
- High rendering latency with NVIDIA T4 cards — resolved by switching to NVIDIA A40 GPUs.
- Variable resource demands across user profiles — addressed by tuning vCPU, RAM, and vGPU allocations for NX and Kompas-3D workloads.
- Failure to detect a second monitor — fixed by updating thin-client firmware.
- Network-induced performance issues — mitigated through optimization of the Loudplay protocol and deployment of newer releases of Astra Linux, Termidesk, and Loudplay Client.
- Manual desktop assignment — automated via Termidesk broker with separate resource pools in Active Directory.
Virtual GPU functionality is provided by the Russian Forsite vGate solution running on domestic hypervisors, combined with NVIDIA GRID vGPU profiles. The resulting infrastructure supports both office users and engineers working with large assemblies while satisfying regulatory requirements for Russian software and hardware.

Wi-Fi 8 Expected Earlier as DDR4 Shortage Forces Market Acceleration
Corporate Wi-Fi 8 equipment could reach the market in 2027, earlier than initially projected, because of ongoing shortages and rising prices of DDR4 memory chips. Although individual access points do not require large amounts of memory, vendors purchase components in massive volumes, so even modest price increases significantly raise production costs. Dell'Oro Group recommends redesigning devices to reduce reliance on the most expensive modules, noting that faster adaptation will lead to more competitive pricing. The DDR4 shortage is effectively accelerating the transition to the next wireless generation. At the same time, Wi-Fi 7 is not being retired soon; analysts forecast triple-digit revenue growth for Wi-Fi 7 equipment in 2026, with the segment continuing to expand for another three years. Cloud-managed WLAN solutions and AIOps features are also driving market growth, increasing software revenue even as high component costs partially cool overall demand.
Security Vision SIEM Tackles Alert Overload with Data Quality Monitoring and MITRE ATT&CK Coverage
The article examines persistent SIEM challenges illustrated by the 2013 Target breach, where FireEye detected the compromise but response processes failed. It cites recent statistics showing organizations receive nearly 3,000 daily alerts with 46 percent false positives and 63 percent left uninvestigated. Security Vision SIEM, built on the Low-Code Security Vision 5 platform, integrates event collection, normalization, correlation, asset context, and basic response. Key July 2026 updates add collection stability monitoring, SLA dashboards, statistical anomaly detection, Sigma rule exchange, and retrospective process chain reconstruction. The product offers more than 1,200 correlation rules covering over 70 percent of MITRE ATT&CK techniques along with FSTEC BDU mappings and expert response recommendations. It supports remote and agent-based collection across 150 integrations while providing visual No-Code tools for connectors, rules, and dashboards.
