Virtualisation des postes de travail multiplateforme linux/windows/mac OS X - Retour d'expérience
Patrick Kocelniak, Simon Nieuviarts · HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe) · 2015
Adeline is a student in class 1A. She bought a Windows laptop for her studies. Grégory is a teacher. He's a geek who loves adding experimental bits and pieces to his Linux distribution. Yves is also a teacher, but like most of the teachers at the school, he has a laptop running Mac OS.At school or at home, using their personal computer, Adeline, Grégory and Yves connect to https://pcvirtuel.ensimag.fr using their web browser. A page appears and they begin working on a virtual Linux PC that is identical in every way to the Linux used in the school's practical work classrooms. They can therefore be sure that the programmes they prepare for practical work will run perfectly on school computers. Without affecting the installation of their personal computers, they can use the software installed at Ensimag as well as their documents.For three years, the IT service at Grenoble INP - Ensimag has been studying two predominantly Linux-based virtual PC solutions: Neocoretech Ndv (in production for three years) and Redhat Rhev.Providing feedback on this software, the following themes will be discussed: - Virtualising workstations: what are the needs, aims and challenges? - What production infrastructure should be chosen and what is the cost? - Reality test: what are the positives and negatives? - Demonstrations: user side and administrator side. - Determining criteria to use in order to move towards and choose a virtual workstation solution.
