Desktop Cloud
Workspace is a desktop virtualization product based on VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure), IDV (Intelligent Desktop Virtualization), VOI (Virtual OS Infrastructure) and TCI (Transparent Client Infrastructure) hybrid architecture. The virtualized desktop components (including application software, operating system, and user data) are transferred to the cloud data center for hosting through the cloud desktop management platform, and unified management and centralized control are carried out, and the desktop operating system is accessed using thin terminals, fat terminals, PCs, mobile terminals, and other devices to provide users with a similar experience to that of PCs. The biggest feature of desktop virtualization architecture is centralization, which is mainly manifested in the following aspects:
Workspace desktop virtualization
Workspace centralizes resource management, simplifies and efficiently operates, balances cost and efficiency for enterprise IT O&M, and enhances IT O&M value.
Centralized management
Administrators can centrally control what applications and data users can use. For the hardware resources used by users’ virtual desktops, administrators can also uniformly schedule and flexibly allocate them on the server side, and provide idle hardware resources to other users, so as to truly allocate hardware resources on demand. It can also monitor various behaviors of users in the virtual desktop. VDI, IDV, VOI, and TCI methods are flexibly selected. In VDI mode, all data is centralized in the cloud, and there is no data on the local terminal. In IDV, VOI, TCI mode, each terminal has a personal network disk, and the data is centralized in the back-end data center through the network disk;
Centralized operation and maintenance
In VDI mode, because there is no data or application on the terminal, only the function of simply connecting to the virtual desktop is required, and basically no maintenance is required, and all maintenance work is concentrated on the server side, which greatly reduces the number of maintenance devices in terms of geographical distribution and maintenance. In IDV mode, applications and operating systems are pushed and updated in batches, greatly improving O&M efficiency.
The Workspace management platform Space Console can realize the unified management of physical and virtual resources
Terminal security: terminal signature code authentication, fingerprint and USB Key multi-factor authentication, centralized black and white list control of ports and peripherals, etc
Network security: virtual desktop pool isolation; Desktop connection, secure encrypted transmission, etc
Data security: Set the peripheral usage policy of the desktop and use application software control to control the use of illegal software. Security features such as desktop watermarks and read-only storage devices ensure that data is not lost.
Cloud platform security: Support distributed storage, support virtual machine image hierarchical storage, data disk encryption through software, data incognito processing. Through virtualization anti-virus, the security of the underlying virtualization platform is guaranteed
Management security: administrator decentralization and domain management, desktop user behavior log audit, etc
All-round reliability guarantee: network status detection, client self-service backup and recovery, automatic network flash reconnection, HA resource reservation of key components, batch backup of virtual machines, etc
Secure centralization
With application and data centralization, it is easier to monitor application security and protect confidential data, only need to focus on protecting server-side security, without considering endpoint security;
