What is a cloud desktop? What are the advantages of cloud desktop compared with traditional PC?

With the rapid development of cloud computing and the continuous maturity of technology, more and more industries and environments begin to use cloud desktop to replace traditional PC. Many people often compare traditional PCs before using cloud desktops. What's the difference between cloud desktop and traditional PC? Here, cloud desktop manufacturer Yulong Cloud summarizes eight common characteristics for comparison.

1, management and maintenance, cloud desktop management and maintenance is convenient for all maintenance. Most cloud terminals concentrated on the server are basically maintenance-free, and there is basically no need to invest extra manpower and material resources to maintain the cloud terminals. The traditional PC installation is not complicated, there are many lines, and it is difficult to maintain the software and hardware of each PC.

2. Installation and upgrade. All the installation and upgrade of cloud desktop can be done directly on the server quickly and conveniently, without one-time installation, while traditional PCs need to install the operating system and upgrade software one by one after each PC is plugged in.

3. Resource allocation: Cloud desktop can be flexibly allocated according to users' usage to maximize the use of resources, while traditional PC is inflexible in all configuration failures.

4. Data security. The cloud desktop data is isolated from the terminal desktop, providing a quick recovery mechanism. At the same time, storage peripherals such as USB cannot be accessed and copied privately, while traditional PC can easily find virus attacks, resulting in the loss of system or data. At the same time, employees can copy the data on the computer at will and can't control it.

5. In the office environment, the cloud terminal has the advantages of small volume, low calorific value, no noise, no space occupation, environmental protection and energy saving, large volume of traditional PC, high calorific value of CPU memory hard disk and high noise.

6. Add users and use cloud desktop. When adding employees, there is no need to add desktops and cloud terminals to the server. Traditional PC needs to buy a brand-new PC device.

7. Power consumption, low power consumption of cloud terminal. The power consumption of ARM cloud terminal is about 5 W, even the power consumption of X86 cloud terminal is only about 25 W, and the power consumption of traditional PC single host is about 200 W.

8. Service life: If the service life of the cloud terminal is 865,438+00 years, you only need to add server configuration or purchase servers during this period, while the service life of the traditional PC is 3-5 years. After 3 years, most of them need to buy brand-new PC equipment.

Of course, cloud desktop is not omnipotent, and it still cannot completely replace PC office in some industries and fields.
