Kunming University of Science and Technology

1,231 Cloud Desktops

VOI PC Reuse

80% Less Hardware Maintenance

Project Overview

Kunming University of Science and Technology has deployed 1,231 integrated cloud desktops across its Xinying and Chenggong campuses through multiple construction phases. The deployment covers six specialized laboratories and 50 multimedia classrooms at Xinying, plus six specialized laboratories and unified management of 289 multimedia classrooms at Chenggong.

OS-EASY established a unified desktop cloud platform across campuses and colleges to extend hardware lifecycles, support diverse teaching environments, and centrally manage both new and existing multimedia devices.

User Requirements

Flexible resource allocation: Extend hardware use to its physical lifecycle and allocate desktop resources on demand.
Multi-disciplinary teaching: Deliver and switch between multiple desktop environments without overloading a single operating system.
Unified multimedia management: Centrally operate existing and newly deployed teaching terminals across campuses.

Solution

01	Cloud resource pool: A cloud service data center built on 15 servers unifies computing, storage, desktops, and applications. CPU, memory, and storage can be allocated to each desktop as required.
02	Low-maintenance all-in-one terminals: New cloud classrooms use integrated terminals that reduce hardware maintenance by 80%.
03	Multiple teaching environments: Separate operating environments deliver software by discipline, allowing student selection or teacher-directed switching.
04	VOI reuse and mobile teaching: Eighty existing PCs at Chenggong were migrated to VOI desktops for remote multimedia-terminal management, supported by the teaching network drive.

Customer Value

Longer Hardware Lifecycle

Centralized allocation keeps endpoints usable for twice as long as traditional PCs and reduces replacement investment.

Efficient Teaching Delivery

Multiple standardized desktop environments support varied disciplines while preserving classroom order.

Centralized Operations

The unified platform manages new and legacy devices across campuses, while the teaching network drive raises teacher efficiency by 80%.
