Solution Overview
To address the strong practical focus of business and management courses—such as accounting software usage, entrepreneurship training, and competition scenarios—the solution provides a cloud desktop platform integrating VDI, VOI, IDV, and TCI technologies. It enables the construction of a comprehensive cloud-based lab that supports teaching, hands-on training, self-directed learning, and examinations.
This solution is well-suited for disciplines such as International Economics and Trade, Business Administration, E-commerce, Financial Management, Logistics Management, and Finance. It fulfills the diverse requirements of foundational experiments, comprehensive simulations, and research-oriented training across business-related fields.

Solution Details
- Centralized remote management
Designed for lab operation and maintenance administrators, the solution provides a B/S (Browser/Server) architecture-based management portal with a graphical user interface. The platform can be accessed from any network-connected device, enabling unified control over VDI, VOI, and IDV desktop architectures. It also supports centralized management and maintenance of physical servers, virtual machines, terminal devices, and storage systems.
- System batch deployment
The platform supports linked clone functionality for virtual machines, enabling easy creation of application-specific environment templates tailored to the needs of business and management disciplines. Once a template is prepared, multiple virtual machines with identical configurations can be rapidly cloned and distributed over the network, allowing for fast and efficient deployment of desktop environments.
- Differential Data Update
The platform supports system template editing, allowing administrators to install system patches, perform software updates and upgrades, or deploy applications within the template. Using the “one-click update” feature, all associated virtual machines can be updated and maintained efficiently. The update process adopts a differential update mechanism—only the changed data is updated, rather than performing a full image overwrite—eliminating the need for any manual operation at the computer center or on individual terminals.
- Rapid Account Set Creation
The platform is equipped with high-performance SSDs and adopts a hybrid “SSD + HDD” architecture. By leveraging the high read/write capabilities of SSDs along with memory acceleration technology, the system significantly enhances data throughput.
In practical scenarios, for example, with one server managing 25 terminals:
- Batch creation of account sets completes in approximately 2.5 minutes,
- Exporting an account set takes about 15 seconds,
- Importing an account set takes around 40 seconds.
- Multimedia teaching interaction
The platform provides a self-developed multimedia interactive teaching software that enables screen broadcasting, video broadcasting, file transfer, electronic roll call, and other teaching interactions. It is deeply integrated with the desktop cloud system, allowing teachers to directly switch between virtual desktop environments through the multimedia teaching interface for a seamless classroom experience.
- Centralized remote management
The platform supports a variety of examination scenarios, including ATA and national computer proficiency exams. It provides a rapid deployment mechanism tailored for different exam environments, enabling batch modification or generation of virtual machine IP addresses, system login names (usernames), and computer names to meet specific exam setup requirements. Deployment of hundreds of desktops can be completed in under one hour.
- Desktop system self-maintenance
An independent desktop cloud diagnostic tool is provided to monitor the status of platform servers, terminal connections, and cluster network conditions. The tool can automatically generate diagnostic reports and offers one-click recovery for identified issues, greatly simplifying daily system maintenance and troubleshooting.
