VOL no virtualization layer · performance equivalent to physical machine · image and configuration separation · native domestic IT stack
IDV third generation (IDV3) runs the desktop locally on the endpoint with centralized management; vDisk goes one step further by removing the virtualization layer to achieve performance equivalent to a physical machine, uses image-config separation to manage multi-brand heterogeneous endpoints with a single image, and natively supports domestic IT stack, making it an upgraded version of IDV3.
IDV3 has achieved "local computing power + centralized management". While retaining these advantages, vDisk addresses the common shortcomings of the third-generation IDV, such as performance loss, heterogeneous endpoints, domestic IT stack adaptation, and mobile operations and maintenance.
| Dimension | IDV3 (Third-generation IDV) | vDisk (the next generation surpassing IDV3) |
|---|---|---|
| Local computing / network offline | Desktop runs locally on the endpoint | Same local computing power,Works Offline |
| Performance | The endpoint still has virtualization layer overhead, struggling with large software. | VOL removes the virtualization layer, performance equals that of a physical machine |
| Image / endpoint | Heavy reliance on the same model image makes it difficult to unify heterogeneous endpoints | Image-Config Separation, single image manages multiple brands such as Dell, Lenovo, and HP |
| domestic IT stack | Depends on product compatibility | Domestic CPU × Domestic OS System image packaging, native domestic IT stack |
| Data / Restore | Restore capability depends on plan | Three-tier Storage + One-Click Restore, student data is retained independently |
| Operations & Maintenance | Console-oriented | Console + Mobile O&M via WeChat Mini Program |
| Legacy Devices | View endpoint requirements | Can reuse old PCs，延长寿命Cost Reduction |
Eliminates hypervisor overhead; the operating system runs directly on the physical hardware of the endpoint. Even large software like 3D modeling and video editing can be handled, with performance equivalent to a physical machine.
Base image is read-only and shared, configurations are independently distributed; a single master image is compatible with multi-brand heterogeneous endpoints, with automatic driver matching and BIOS/UEFI dual boot support.
Domestic CPU (Phytium/Kunpeng/Loongson) × Domestic OS (UOS/Kylin) image package, seamlessly replace the original Windows computer lab.
Three-layer storage architecture: restart restores the base image, student changes or malware infections leave no trace, personal data is independently retained in the user data layer.
Console + WeChat mini-program, over 90% of operations such as endpoint monitoring, remote restart, system push can be done on the fly, one person manages the entire school/department.
No need to replace all machines. Reuse existing endpoints for cloud desktop delivery, extending device lifespan and reducing procurement budgets, with lower TCO over three years.
IDV3 (third generation IDV) runs the desktop locally on the endpoint with centralized management; vDisk uses VOL on top of it to remove the virtualization layer for performance equivalent to a physical machine, and supports multi-brand heterogeneous endpoints through image-config separation, natively compatible with domestic IT stack, making it an upgraded version of IDV3.
Yes. It can reuse existing endpoints (including older PCs) and be deployed in four steps: server configuration → image preparation → endpoint registration → distribution. It also supports domestic CPU/OS domestic IT stack bundling.
Supported. Domestic CPU (Phytium/Kunpeng/Loongson) × domestic OS (UOS/Kylin) image packaging, for replacement in domestic IT stack computer labs.
Yes. The desktop runs locally on the endpoint, available even without network, and unaffected by central server failures.
