With the continuous development of educational informatization, various office applications and business support systems are increasing, the office environment is becoming more and more complex, and the problems of traditional PCs in management, maintenance and information security are becoming more and more prominent. How to use the new generation of information technology and computer technology to build a sustainable educational office informatization platform to achieve mobile office, safe office and efficient office has become an important topic in school informatization construction; and with the popularization of cloud computing technology and applications, it has driven the development of desktop virtualization. Compared with traditional PC application solutions, it has the characteristics of simple management and maintenance, safety and reliability, high return on investment, green and low energy, environmental protection, high efficiency and flexibility. my country’s Ministry of Information Industry is also vigorously advocating the creation of energy-saving, environmentally friendly, green and safe office environment. The office desktop cloud has become the future development direction of educational IT architecture and the trend of informatization construction.
Difficulties faced by traditional offices:
1. High personalization requirements for desktop
Generally, schools have different colleges with different educational majors. Teachers in each major of each college have different requirements for office software and hardware due to the nature of their work and teaching content. In addition, everyone’s office habits vary greatly, resulting in high requirements for differentiated desktop environment deployment. Therefore, it is difficult to uniformly deploy desktop environments for different positions.
2. There are many office computers, which are scattered in different locations and lack effective management.
As the number of office equipment continues to increase, the office business environment is becoming more and more complex. Each office device needs to be installed with relevant operating systems and business application software according to job responsibilities. At the same time, it is necessary to continuously upgrade the software, patch it, update the virus database, etc. during use. The daily maintenance work is cumbersome, and the problem repair time is long, resulting in low office efficiency.
3. Business continuity is difficult to ensure
Due to the complex office network environment, teachers’ office equipment is easily attacked by viruses and Trojans, which may seriously paralyze the entire business system. At this time, managers need to disinfect the entire business system and update the virus database or reinstall the system and business software, and business continuity cannot be guaranteed.
4. Frequent system failures affect daily work
Computers are the main office tools, carrying various office applications and important scientific research data. However, during the office process, due to the uneven computer skills of office staff and irregular operations, it is easy to cause system crashes and virus infections, resulting in office interruptions or loss of important data. At the same time, excessive running of various software causes system errors and crashes, and files cannot be recovered.
5. High overall operation and maintenance costs
With the continuous updating of educational information technology business system software, some new software or operating systems cannot be installed on existing computers. Many computers will be updated within a few years, and office equipment needs to be replaced every 3-4 years. The overall investment cost is high. Software deployment, updates and patches all require IT management personnel to operate, and deployment testing and audits are carried out for various PC configurations. The lack of standardization, coupled with the need for support personnel to be on-site to provide troubleshooting support, has led to an increase in overall operating costs.
In response to the above problems, Powerleader Education Desktop Cloud Solution can fully meet the requirements of educational office informatization and cloudification. Its flexible, secure and stable IT architecture and easy-to-maintain information system are of great significance to ensuring educational information security and business continuity.
In response to the difficulties faced by the traditional office environment, the school initially planned to build a flexible, secure and efficient new-generation office virtualization IT infrastructure, improve the utilization rate of hardware resources through virtualization technology and resource integration; increase IT flexibility and simplify system management and maintenance through hardware resource pooling and centralized management technology; ensure high availability and business continuity of the system through cluster technology; greatly reduce the procurement, deployment and operation and maintenance costs of agent terminals through advanced virtualized desktop and application delivery technology, and effectively improve the data security of agent terminals, integrate existing office hardware resources and migrate the office environment of each department to the cloud.
Powerleader Education Desktop Cloud Solution can fully meet the above requirements and fundamentally solve the difficulties faced by the current office system. The specific requirements are as follows:
1) Initially, it is planned to build a new xxx point office desktop cloud to realize the centralized control and deployment of all teacher computers in the platform;
2) Simple operation, strong compatibility, and can stably and reliably run Windows XP, Windows 7 common operating systems and common office software;
3) Virtual desktop supports redirection of USB external devices, including USB storage devices, printers, scanners, card readers and various other USB external devices.
4) The management platform can manage the USB ports of virtual desktop terminals to prevent data copying;
5) The desktop cloud architecture can be flexibly expanded as business grows, ensuring the development of future office applications;
6) The administrator remotely manages and maintains the office desktop environment through the WEB;
By integrating IT basic resources and building an efficient and flexible desktop cloud office environment, Powerleader Education stores office application systems and data on high-performance backend servers for unified management and maintenance. Cloud terminals are used to replace traditional PCs to create a green office environment. The flexible desktop cloud management platform can rationally and dynamically allocate computing resources according to the requirements of school business and different positions. At the same time, it allows teachers to access their own desktops through cloud terminals at any location and at any time, which improves office efficiency, reduces future IT equipment investment, and simplifies maintenance and management.
End User Experience
• Virtual desktops can provide the same functions as the PCs currently used by users: such as smooth use of office software and access to all internal information application systems.
• Teachers use a centrally deployed virtual desktop environment for daily office work, which is isolated from each other and does not affect each other, while all data is stored in the background server.
reliability
• Maintain the continuity of office business systems and prevent single point failures from affecting the overall architecture and causing system unavailability.
• Application isolation: the downtime of one virtual machine desktop does not affect the normal use of other virtual desktops.
Manageability
• The desktop cloud management platform can be used to uniformly manage the entire platform, including servers, virtual machines, virtual machine operating systems, application software, etc.
• Centrally manage application software and desktops in the office environment, adjust application deployment in the office environment at any time as needed, and simplify client environment configuration and deployment requirements.
• The console can monitor the operating status of the entire platform, including servers, PCs and networks.
Flexible expansion
The update of various office application software has gradually increased the requirements for hardware. Powerleader Education Desktop Cloud can flexibly allocate resources according to the actual needs of users, always keeping the virtual desktop experience in the best state.
All virtual desktop data is centrally stored on the background storage device, which physically realizes the centralization of the original decentralized computer office data. In addition, all virtual desktops are used for daily intranet office work, thus effectively avoiding network virus damage and data leakage. At the same time, all virtual desktops can be monitored and managed in the management platform, such as virtual desktop screen monitoring, session management and USB interface management, which effectively improves the manageability and security of office desktops.
By adopting a centralized management method, server resources, storage resources, virtual resources, desktop terminals, desktop environment, user permissions, etc. can be managed and deployed remotely through the management platform, reducing the difficulty of operation and maintenance and improving the operation and maintenance efficiency by more than 5 times.
The terminal uses cloud terminal equipment with power consumption below 36W, fanless design, no noise, and maintenance-free. Its energy consumption saves 80% to 90% compared with the original desktop computer, which meets the national requirements for energy-saving and green office construction.
