Information Campus Cloud Architecture Virtual Desktop application

How to use the next generation of information technology to realize the rapid development of education informatization is a new challenge we are facing. And with the popularization of cloud computing technology and application, will drive the development of desktop virtualization, compared to the traditional PC application program with its low-cost, high reliability, low maintenance, high security, energy saving and environmental characteristics, in the education industry more and more popular.

The value of virtualized desktops

The advantages of virtualization desktop

1. Reduce costs

Reducing costs is the first response to many people's benefits of desktop virtualization, but this cost requires specific analysis. If the one-sided view of desktop virtualization is to reduce costs, it is possible to create a misunderstanding. Of course, I do not deny that desktop virtualization has the effect of reducing costs, but the specifics of the specific analysis, especially the initial cost, desktop virtualization will actually test the mood of many it executives. In the initial stage of desktop virtualization is not equal to reduce costs, its cost advantages need to slowly appear.

2. Convenient to the university it to the terminal desktop centralized control with the help of the virtual desktop, IT department all desktop management received the back-end of the data center, can not stay at home to the desktop image and related applications for management and maintenance, and this management and maintenance for the front-end users is transparent. For example, tens of thousands of employees are using the same desktop, managers for this desktop image to play a patch, tens of thousands of terminal desktop is all updated.

Therefore, the virtual desktop for enterprise It provides an excellent management means, and this centralized management of the fast, is the previous physical desktop incomparable.

3. More secure Business Continuity

Desktop virtualization involves application virtualization, the implementation of the application is in the background of the data center, which greatly provides high enterprise sensitive data security, and because the desktop virtual machine on the data side, you can enjoy the data center disaster Recovery backup, do "Never stop", thus ensuring business continuity.

On the other hand, because enterprise it can be in the background to the desktop and application for centralized maintenance, in the Trojan, virus protection is certainly much better than the traditional distributed physical desktop, desktop virtualization has a good immune ability, even if the image file is infected, the impact is also virtual machines, can be faster to clear and recover.

4. Eliminate IT system failures due to compatibility issues

In reality, the failure caused by compatibility between applications has always been a problem for enterprise it, with different applications on a physical machine, which may have different problems, big and small, and these trivial issues will greatly occupy the resources and energy of the enterprise IT department. And through desktop virtualization, the enterprise application and desktop image of the organic packaging, the conflict between applications can be minimized because each application packs its own configuration information, which means that for each application its configuration is exclusive and unaffected by other applications, ensuring maximum compatibility and stability.

5. Improving the efficiency and productivity of business cooperation

It is very common for colleges and universities to work together with many vendors, because each unit's IT architecture and system is not necessarily the same, so it brings many difficulties for this kind of collaborative office. With desktop virtualization, you can generate the appropriate virtual machines for these businesses, deploy the appropriate desktops and applications, and transparently centralize data into the background. After the collaboration is over, just a new shutdown of the corresponding virtual machine can be, no need to buy a separate terminal for it, which undoubtedly increased productivity.

Another factor that increases productivity is the platform-independent nature of desktop virtualization, which has nothing to do with attributes or physical attributes. Artificial attribute refers to, you can use is not your own computer, just log on to your account on the Internet can access your desktop and application, so as to achieve "let the application as a shadow accompanying." A platform-independent physical attribute is that, even without a PC, a smartphone can be a Windows operating system, an Android operating system, an Apple phone, or a tablet such as an ipad, that can accept virtual desktops and virtual apps via terminal software.

6. Make Enterprise IT Greener

Green mainly means to reduce the waste of resources, mainly reflected in energy use and investment savings. After using thin client to replace the traditional PC, thin client power consumption is a lot more than one-tenth or even dozens of of the traditional PC. and VDI (Virtualdesktopinfrastructure, the Virtual Desktop infrastructure) requires background virtualization, but also for the server to save energy and reduce the foundation.
