Fan Zhonglei, Qiang Bi, Wang Jiazhu, Guo Shaosong · 2022
Aiming at the shortcomings in traditional cloud desktop access methods caused by the high coupling of hardware and software resources, this paper presents a non-fixed client cloud desktop access method that does not depend on the endpoint device and its operating system and application software. This method bases on customized network startup service and cloud desktop resource service with software-defined architecture. By booting the client system to the endpoint device, a cloud desktop platform is implemented, which separates the control path and data path and combines the endpoint device, unified manager, startup server, and cloud desktop resource server together organically. The result of partial renovation and testing of the school computer room shows that the platform has the advantages of low cost, good portability, good scalability, easy upgrade and maintenance, etc., and can effectively cope with the shortcomings of the current cloud desktop system.
