Detailed description of the cloud desktop management module

VOL Architecture Advantages

Designed on the VOL (Virtual Operating Layer) architecture, it copes with all kinds of complex software environments. It supports large professional software such as CAD, 3DMAX, and Photoshop, ensuring system stability and software compatibility. Using base-image plus user-configuration-and-driver separation technology, a single image is compatible with most hardware terminals, eliminating the need to maintain multiple images for different device types and greatly reducing operational complexity.

Image marketplace and rapid deployment

A built-in image market offers a variety of pre-configured environments covering different scenario needs, including exam environments, teaching environments, and lab environments. It supports one-click deployment, completing the desktop-environment switch for all terminals within 5 minutes. It provides an image template library, allowing teachers to quickly create dedicated teaching environments according to course needs. It supports incremental image updates, saving storage space and transmission bandwidth.

Unified cross-campus management

It supports a multi-tier data server architecture, enabling unified management of the main campus, branch campuses, and multiple campuses. Headquarters IT administrators can manage desktop resources nationwide from a single platform, reducing operations and maintenance costs. It supports cross-region image synchronization and distribution, automatically selecting the optimal path. It also offers cross-campus resource sharing and load balancing to ensure the rational use of resources at each campus.

Virtual Disk Protection Technology

Built on advanced virtual disk technology, it offers higher security and compatibility than traditional disk filter drivers. It supports protection of the user data partition, restoring the system partition on reboot while retaining user data. Multiple protection modes are available: full protection, partial protection, scheduled restore, and more. It also supports automatically uploading student assignments to the server to prevent data loss.

Heterogeneous Endpoint Compatibility

Innovative BIOS/EFI dual-boot support technology means a single image is compatible with both legacy BIOS and modern EFI boot modes at the same time. Intelligent driver management technology automatically identifies the hardware configuration and loads the corresponding drivers. It supports processors of different architectures such as Intel, AMD, and ARM, and is compatible with motherboards, graphics cards, network cards, and other hardware from various brands, truly achieving unified management of heterogeneous terminals.

Remote maintenance and monitoring

It supports operations such as remote wake-up, remote shutdown, and remote restart. It monitors the running status of all desktops as well as CPU, memory, and disk usage in real time. It provides a remote desktop assistance feature, allowing administrators to help users solve problems remotely. It supports batch software installation, updates, and uninstallation. It provides detailed usage logs and audit records, facilitating issue tracking and statistical analysis.

Intelligent scheduling and resource optimization

Desktop resources are automatically allocated and reclaimed according to the timetable to improve resource utilization. Desktop preloading technology is supported, preparing the desktop environment in advance before class to ensure fast startup when class begins. Intelligent load balancing automatically assigns users to less-loaded servers. Resource usage statistics and analytical reports are provided to support management decisions.

Security and permission management

A comprehensive tiered user-permission system supports role-based settings for teachers, students, administrators, and more. It supports security policies such as USB port control, printer control, and network access control. A desktop operation auditing feature records users' key actions. Integration with the school's unified identity authentication system enables single sign-on. Data is encrypted throughout transmission to ensure data security.

Physical-network device control and management module

Central Control Device Management

Manage central-control devices uniformly for centralized control and management of teaching equipment.

Access Control System

Integrates access-control devices supporting card swipe, facial recognition and other authentication methods.

Lighting Control

Smart lighting control system with timed control, scene modes and more.

HVAC Management

Remote control of air-conditioning, with temperature adjustment, scheduled on/off and more.

Mobile management module

WeChat Mini Program

No app download needed - handle 90% of management tasks right in the WeChat Mini Program.

WeChat Notification

Important events are pushed in real time via WeChat, so you stay on top of system status the moment it changes.

Permission Management

A comprehensive tiered user-permission system ensures system security and management efficiency.

Remote Control

Supports remote control of all IoT devices, enabling truly mobile work.

Timetable Management Module

Academic System Integration

Seamlessly integrates with mainstream academic systems and syncs timetable data automatically, with no manual upkeep.

Smart Environment Switching

Automatically switches the classroom desktop by timetable, loading the right software and settings for each course.

Automatic Power Management

Supports automatic power-on before class and power-off after, saving energy, cutting emissions, and extending equipment lifespan.

Exam Mode

Switch to exam mode with one click to quickly deploy a standardized exam environment, supporting multiple exam systems.
