The Challenges We Face in Education
Traditional PC Can't Meet Modern Education's Demands for Diversity and High Performance
Aging PCs can't run today's professional software smoothly, and teaching suffers.
Different course software versions on one PC lead to conflicts and lag, and reinstalling repeatedly is a costly hassle.
Waiting days for a test machine under traditional PCs hinders innovation in education and research.
High Cost, Low Efficiency in O&M
At the start of each semester, bulk software installation and system upgrades still rely on inefficient manual, machine-by-machine operations; even when network-based mass deployment is employed, high failure rates and prolonged wait times severely impede the progress of instructional preparations.
Heterogeneous hardware brands in labs prevent unified images, complicate troubleshooting, and raise spare‑parts costs.
Limited Application Scenarios
courseware meticulously prepared by teachers at home with specific software may fail to run in offices or classrooms due to environmental differences. Similarly, students can not take their unfinished assignments from the computer lab back to their dormitories or homes to continue working on them.
Teachers and students cannot access their dedicated, complete desktop environments anytime and anywhere via personal laptops or mobile devices.
Data Security at Risk
Research data and personal information of teachers and students are scattered across various terminal hard drives, lacking unified permission control and auditing.
Incidents such as loss of equipment, maintenance procedures, or unauthorized copying through USB drives can all result in the exposure of critical data assets.

Solution Advantages
A unified cloud-based architecture enables centralized campus-wide deployment and management via a single Web-based platform, supporting the remote management of thousands of endpoints and the unified deployment, upgrading, and maintenance of tens of thousands of virtual desktops.
When the school conducts internal exams or hosts external tests, administrators use the Converged Desktop Cloud to rapidly deploy exam desktop environments, batch-generate IP addresses, usernames, computer names, and other required information, and adjust the system restore settings as needed. After the exams conclude, the exam systems are swiftly reclaimed and hidden with a single click, ensuring no disruption to normal teaching and practical training.
The cloud resource service model offers high resource utilization and supports scalability for over 10,000 endpoints and 100,000 desktops, meeting infrastructure requirements for the next 5 to 10 years.
Students can connect their personal laptops to the Teaching Desktop Pool in public study spaces or open labs, allowing them to access the virtual teaching desktops and conduct open experimental learning anytime.
Using distributed storage technology, teaching and office data can be stored with 2 or even 3 replicas in the cloud. Should a server fail, the data is automatically rebuilt and restored, guaranteeing zero data loss for all teaching and administrative activities.
The cloud desktop is built on a dual-system design, featuring both a virtual desktop and a local operating system retained on the terminal, with both systems sharing a single system image. When a server or network failure occurs and the terminal cannot access the virtual desktop, it automatically switches to the local system. In addition, even if the terminal has no local OS installed, offline broadcast teaching can still be carried out via multimedia teaching software, ensuring that instruction continues without interruption.
It offers not only high-performance experimental environment resources but also the capability to incorporate local computing resources. By connecting their laptops to the computing power center remotely, teachers and students can access high-performance environments that match their experimental teaching needs. Through information technology, these high-performance resources are efficiently shared across the institution.
A single terminal provides multiple operating systems, allowing students to flexibly access the corresponding teaching desktops according to the different instructional environments required by various professional courses. Each operating system can have independent teaching software installed. Moreover, it supports a wide range of operating systems, including Windows 7, Windows 10, CentOS, UOS, and KOS, catering to students' diverse and dynamic needs.
