The same question — "how much does a cloud desktop cost" — can yield quotes that differ several times over. The gap isn't in the desktop itself, but in server configuration, whether terminals must be replaced, who handles implementation, and who maintains it over the coming years. The vDisk Converged Cloud Management Platform uses the IDV local-execution architecture: aging PCs and small-disk machines run fine without replacement, and a single administrator can maintain hundreds or thousands of terminals through timetable linkage, driving down the two truly costly items — "server over-provisioning" and "manual operations." We don't quote inflated unit prices; we tailor solutions to your data-center scale and current terminal status. Apply for a trial first to get your own budget breakdown.
A cloud desktop is a system you'll run for three to five years; what you save is first-year hardware cost, while what you often overspend is the labor and downtime losses of the following years.
Software licensing · servers and storage · endpoints · implementation services · ongoing operations and maintenance — the true total cost is the three-year sum of these five components.
Amortizing the first-year purchase price over three years, plus the annual labor, electricity, upgrade, and downtime costs, is the "true price" of a cloud desktop. vDisk's design philosophy is to subtract from every cost item: servers don't pile up compute, endpoints aren't forced into replacement, and O&M runs automatically off the class schedule—flattening the total cost curve.
Behind every capability lies money you can save — on servers, machine replacements, or staffing.
IDV runs locally with performance equal to a physical machine; the server only handles management and control, eliminating the need for high-spec servers and 10-gigabit networks piled up for compute power.
A single image is compatible with multiple brands and models and runs even on small drives, so old PCs aren't scrapped, saving a whole round of replacement purchases.
Timetable linkage automates power on/off and switching of desktops and policies; combined with Mini Program inspections, labor costs drop sharply.
One master image manages all models uniformly—one-click push and instant differential updates eliminate the person-days of repeated reinstallation.
Clean on reboot and usable offline when disconnected, failures barely affect classes, with almost no hidden costs like downtime compensation.
Cloud desktop + cc-class electronic classroom + IoT centralized control are integrated from a single source, with no port conflicts, sparing you a pile of scattered licenses.
Resumable transfers with use-while-downloading, BT/chained distribution, rollback anytime; upgrades require no on-site return visit and incur no extra charges.
Online rates, utilization, and SSD health alerts are presented quantitatively, so expansion budgets are backed by data and you avoid blind, duplicate procurement.
The same vDisk platform, with a cost structure customized according to your number of lab rooms, current terminal status, and Xinchuang requirements
Pilot with just one management server plus your existing terminals—validate first, then scale—keeping upfront investment small and risk low.
One master image manages all labs, with timetable linkage handled by a single operator—the larger the scale, the lower the per-machine cost.
Semi-cache/full-cache keeps old PCs and small drives in service, turning replacement budgets into years of stable operation.
Compatible with Kunpeng/Phytium/Loongson/Hygon + UnionTech UOS/Kylin, with driver compilation provided, so replacement requires no starting from scratch.
No off-the-cuff quotes — calculate the three-year total cost using your lab's real data
Inventory the number of labs, terminal models and age, network and teaching software to determine which terminals can be reused.
Run a trial in one lab to measure performance, restore and operational savings firsthand, and obtain a credible per-lab cost.
Add up the five components — software, servers, terminals, implementation, and O&M — over three years and compare with the traditional solution to see exactly how much you save.
Roll out in batches by building or semester, splitting the budget across phases and customizing by scale to ease cash-flow pressure.
It's not about the lowest unit price, but about truly saving on servers, endpoints, and staff over three years.
Runs locally like a physical machine—professional software runs smoothly and classes go on even offline—so you needn't add budget for performance.
One image is compatible with multiple brands and batches, keeping old machines and small drives in service and saving the cost of replacing whole batches.
With timetable-driven unattended operation plus mobile maintenance, a single administrator can maintain all campus computer rooms.
Compatible with Kunpeng/Phytium/Loongson/Hygon and UnionTech UOS/Kylin, with driver compilation provided for smooth, cost-saving migration.
