Desktop virtualization application techniques for servers and clients

From a hardware standpoint, there are several possible ways you can include a redesign of the use of Legacy Client systems or the purchase of new thin client hardware. Microsoft's Windows THINPC products are designed for the redesign of users, should be a good choice for users. The hardware vendors for thin client devices include HP, ncomputing and Wyse. This article will focus on introducing L300 devices from ncomputing.

Deploy Virtual Desktop system infrastructure requirements hardware and software solutions to match each other. From the software side, there are many vendors involved, including Citrix, Red Hat and VMware. With the right server hardware, you can also use Microsoft's Windows Server2008 R2 SP1 to perform virtual desktop system infrastructure solutions. Microsoft's Remote FX technology has specific requirements for servers to fully support this deployment.

Package Transactions

When you purchase a L300, you receive a hardware device with a software license authorization to ncomputing the client software and its ownership agreement. NComputing takes a controllable approach to focus on performance, especially in the video field. Part of the control is the user extension protocol that uses their ownership. With all of these packaged together, the L300 "suite" meets the full screen 1080P video to 1920x1080 display format. The

ncomputing client software is named Vspace. You can load the master system used by remote computing devices that connect to remote systems. Vspace can be mounted on any type of operating system, including Windows Server2003 or 2008,windowsxp and Windows764 bit systems. When you upload a vspace to the server operating system, you can use one server to efficiently obtain a one-to-many configuration to support multiple clients. As an option, you can mount Vspace on a virtual machine and provide one-to-one support for a single virtual machine.

Install vspace

on the hardware side, the installation process includes connecting the VGA monitor with a USB mouse and keyboard. You must also provide the audio devices used by the microphone and speakers. Software installation requires the installation of Vspace software on any server or client device. This choice will be somewhat complicated. If the target environment is Windows Server, simply install the Vspace software on the host. Windows license authorization can be based on terminalserverclientaccesslicenses (Terminal Server Access License authorization, referred to as CALs). The price would be much cheaper than buying a single operating system (such as WINDOWS7) license authorization.

for a one-to-one installation of a virtual machine, you must install a vspace copy on each individual virtual machine. The best solution is to configure a virtual machine and a vspace copy on the operating system, and then replicate the virtual machine for other users. Citrix Xenserver,Microsoft's Hyper-V and VMware products can support this approach.

This process can be a little more complex for a Linux host. The installation on the Ubuntu Desktop10.04 is made up of two separate sets. The installation Guide from NComputing can provide clear installation instructions for users to install 10.04LTS. This approach also applies to one-to-one environments. openSUSE can also support similar installations.

Some hardware selections can be changed from the initial import interface of vspace. One of the items that can be changed is the screen resolution. After the device has been powered up, you should be able to see a screen with several available buttons. One of these is "configuration," and once you click on this button, you can see a list of display resolution options. One of the advantages of

Vspace management

for thin client devices is their low requirements for configuration. NComputing can provide a management console that looks at the current state of all devices on the network (see fig. 2). Vspace software can handle all firewall upgrades. For large installations, it is meaningful to assign server software to multiple physical devices. Once you connect to the Vspace console instance, you can easily add additional servers to your monitoring purpose. The

does not have much to do with network management. You can specify a static IP address for each individual device according to your choice, but it is not required. In addition, you should not do anything without connecting the device to the network switch. NComputing recommends the use of at least Gigabit Ethernet connections on the server side. The L300 of the

Conclusion

NComputing is a cost-saving virtual Desktop system infrastructure solution for most typical workloads, especially for high-fidelity video requirements. Simple and easy management requirements should attract enterprise users who need low maintenance of virtual desktop system infrastructure solutions.
