Desktop Virtualization landed

Desktop virtualization, literally means that you can know that the desktop Software Virtualization transformation Technology, enable decentralized terminal soft resources such as operating systems, customer application policies, applications, and customer data to be centrally managed in the cloud, then effectively organized, securely stored, and allocated on demand, Use server resources to centralize operations or make full use of existing local hardware resources. For now, the industry's mainstream includes both VDI (virtual Desktop infrastructure) and Voi (virtual OS infrastructure), with the representation of VDI as VMware, Citrix, Voi's representative is Vesystem, Mokafive.

Research company: Apple is ripe

Virtual machines and cloud computing systems are the fastest growing software segment in the first half of 2012, up 17.8% from a year earlier, according to IDC's latest observational data. Gartner, the leading market research firm, predicts that the global desktop virtualization market will reach around $1.8 billion trillion by 2012, and that desktop virtualization is the first-ranked strategic technology in the future.

According to a survey, IDC reported that about 10% of total PC shipments were new virtual Enterprise desktop clients. Moreover, in a separate survey, about 17% of the company's Gmail users said they were interested in the hosted desktop model of their business. This shows that consumers are now more comfortable with virtualization technology.

"Cloud computing software, which includes more platforms, such as Vcloud,openstack and Cloudstack, is still an emerging market, but it has grown somewhat, and customers have shifted from virtualized infrastructure to cloud computing infrastructure," Chen observes. From the client side, the virtual client still maintains a stable growth pattern, as the market has a more mature solution for voi, and customers are beginning to change their desktop systems and work habits. ”

The global software market grew by 4.7% in the first half of 2012, to a 167 million-dollar market scale compared with the same period in 2011. IDC research companies show that for the entire software market, it is expected that this year there may be a more conservative and more permanent.

CIO: Apple is ripe.

Virtualization technology has become the trend of computer technology development from the mature of server virtualization market to the appearance of desktop virtualization and Application Virtualization.

However, with the increasing demand for stable virtual desktop alternatives, Virtual OS infrastructure (Voi) is followed by Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Desktop infrastructure, Referred to as VDI, as a new development direction for desktop virtualization.

From the practical application, Voi has stronger adaptability to the user environment. It can be separated from the server and network operation features, so that voi with better usability and security and a better user experience, can easily build a "private cloud":

In terms of usability: Based on Voi Desktop virtualization system can overcome the server downtime, low network bandwidth and a variety of factors such as disconnection, make full use of local hardware resources, fully solve the problem of VDI performance, thus greatly increasing the availability of the system.

In the security aspect: from the centralized control, the virtual protection and the encryption storage and so on has carried on the thorough solution.

In the cost control aspect: The centralized management mode can save the operation dimension and the manpower cost greatly for the user, but the model which based on the terminal operation can let the system greatly reduce to the server's dependence, uses one department level PC server to support up to 500 terminals.

Due to the consideration of security, availability of services, technology maturity, service provider reputation and so on, most enterprises are willing to choose "private Cloud" as the operating environment of cloud computing tools. Thus, Voi can be described as "customers want to think, worry about customers worry", wisdom wins.

The author learned that IBM's Steve Mills first proposed Voi (Virtual OS infrastructure) architecture ideas, and letter Creation Day (Vesystem) as the leading manufacturer of desktop virtualization, is the first launch based on the Voi Desktop virtualization Architecture Products-"and letter" Virtual Terminal Management System. It not only realizes the traditional advantages of desktop virtualization, but also has various application functions in line with China's national conditions.

Customer: Apple is ripe

In recent years, desktop virtualization business in China began to flourish, including IBM China Research and Development Center, TCL Multimedia Center, Sinopec, China Mobile, Renmin University, Taikang assets and other customers have adopted desktop virtualization technology to replace the traditional PC, its development momentum has exceeded the trend of server virtualization.

With the domestic users in the information construction of the concept of continuous maturation and rationalization, users are no longer blindly accept some foreign manufacturers propaganda, but more to consider from their own information system status and business characteristics, requires the deployment of desktop virtualization architecture must be able to ensure the smooth migration of the original business, do not affect user habits, And can be highly developed, fully compatible with the future of new business and new technologies, this is an increasing number of customers focus on Voi Desktop virtualization architecture is an important factor.

Now, virtualization has become an important IT strategy, not only for large enterprises but also for small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to cost savings, virtualization also allows the government, enterprises and institutions to cancel the hardware maintenance required by the shutdown time and operational costs.
