E-VDI Solution To Construct Private Cloud Computing For Multimedia Classroom

USB control and terminal management functions

Fast deploy desktops to heterogeneous terminals in Multimedia classrooms;

easily update system and software patches for desktops in the classrooms

does not affect teaching if network is disconnected in multimedia classrooms

Requirements

High performance multimedia classroom has been become school’s indispensable hardware facilities. When we are sharing the modern education, it is difficult to manage multimedia classroom devices separated in different classroom, mainly includes following aspects:

1. Multimedia classroom scattered in different area

Teacher tutor pc is separated in each classroom of different buildings, it is a heavy work when managers update software s and deploy operating systems, they need to go to the classroom one by one to update installation, time-costing work.

2. Different specification for multimedia PC

Numerous computers in multimedia classrooms caused the machine model, configuration, operating systems, software cannot be exactly the same, there are different, so it difficult to deploy multimedia classroom software and operating systems, administrator needs to go to each terminal for installation one by one.

3. Difficult to update and install

The same classroom needs to take a number of professional teaching tasks, because there are requirements to install different professional software for different courses, such work is easy to cause the computers installed many programs which cause system slow or crash. If change classrooms temporarily, computer software cannot meet the course teaching, it requires reinstalling to start the course.

3. The hidden safety danger caused by multi users

Because teachers always take USB stick or CD to use teaching content, it always infect virus, unable to boot. Or there is Trojan because of much internet surfing, etc., all of these bring hidden trouble for public teacher machines.

4. One desktop for all users

Due to different teachers need different software installed on the same system, it will cause large system data files, teachers cannot have their own independent desktop, each teaching courseware needs to be copied back and forth, it is time-consuming and cause data leakage danger.

5. Tedious maintenance work, long disaster recovery time

IT managers is limited, multimedia classroom amount is numerous, system installation and maintenance work is tedious, combine with numerous users with different levels, IT managers are exhausted to work on system installation, maintenance, anti-virus, update, sometimes error caused operating system crash, restore is time consuming and affect the teaching.

Aiming at these problems, desktop virtualization is a suitable solution for multimedia classroom. Along with cloud computing use and popularity, it promotes the development of desktop virtualization, compare with the traditional PC solutions, its low cost, high reliability, low maintenance, high security, flexibility, makes it becomes more and more popular in education industry.

Solution

1. Scattered terminals - cloud management

a) cloud Management——anywhere, anytime, any device

WEB-based graphical management platform, users can access management platform on any terminal browser, perform physical server management functions like: create, delete, and modify virtual machines; install virtual machine system and software; uniformly manage computer restrictions, which enables central deployment or management of all the multimedia classroom computers from single location.

b) Cloud Management——USB control and terminal management

In the cloud desktop management platform, you can manage desktop USB permissions, manage terminal devices, modify PC modification, IP, remote startup/shutdown etc.

2. Heterogeneous terminals- cloud deployment

a) “Link clone"-Fast deploy desktops to heterogeneous terminals in batch

OS-easy E-VDI provides virtual machine “Link clone” function. administrator only needs to create one template, then clones virtual desktops with the same configuration in batch based on the template, it achieves quickly distributing virtual desktops to terminals by user name or terminal name. Regardless of cloud terminal, all-in-one or PC, different hardware model does not have any effect to run virtual desktops, it can rapid deploy desktops to heterogeneous terminals in batch.

b) A key update - easily update system and software patches

When multimedia classroom using teaching desktop, facing system patches or software updates, now administrators do not need to walk back and forth among classrooms, just need to open management console, click "A key update" button to completely update one respective template to update all teaching desktops in batch.

3. Guarantee cloud security

a) "Dual systems", does not affect teaching if network is disconnected.

While terminal using the "virtual desktop" in multimedia classroom, you can also use the local systems in terminals, Virtual desktop supports Office, browse, multimedia teaching system and other applications; When network is interrupted, teacher can use the local system to complete the teaching, such as running office, supports local system centralized maintenance, upgrade, etc.

b) High Availability - eliminate downtime

"Virtual machine snapshot" feature can quickly restore the virtual machine to a specified p
