Extra Credit AssignmentThe technology is developing so fast in nowadays, many businesses choose adopt new technologies such as desktop virtualization, which helps organizations with not only financial side, but also the administrative side. On the other hand, there are always two sides of one coin. By gaining the knowledge about pros and cons of desktop virtualization, organizations and businesses are able to implement the best practice and maximum economic profit; that is important for companies to stand out within today’s business world. First of all, desktop virtualization can help business cut administrative and support costs. According to Crystal Nichols, “Because each user has the same image including OS and apps, you have lower costs.” (2012) Due to the desktop virtualization, organizations are able to standardize the OS and apps in order to cut the IT cost, however, the down side is that using same image is lack of unique personal settings and other functionalities. Furthermore, the desktop virtualization makes update and driver installment more manageable for the IT manager; because all the systems are tied up together, so it is impossible for him/her to miss out one machine.
Second of all, there is one of major disadvantages of desktop virtualization, which is that every connection resides on one data center. According to Logan Harbaugh, “Procuring one big server means a large initial outlay, versus inexpensive PCs that can be acquired in stages or upgraded a few at a time. If that one server goes down, every user relying on that machine will be unable to work. If a single PC goes down, only one user is impacted.” (2012)Based on that, everything can be more efficient, however, since everything is connected with one data center, the whole system can be impacted even if just one single computer fails. With that being said, desktop virtualization can be harmful sometimes, because the whole system is tie up together, it requires every computer on the system to be powerful enough to achieve the best performance of the whole system.
The Problem
Most people are familiar with the “desktop-wide” idea that we build “desktop-wide” products that have one-year market exclusivity and have only one “virtual computer”. It is easy to confuse this. It doesn’t help that this is a relatively basic concept, which is one that has not been studied. In fact, it is almost entirely common knowledge in the desktop ecosystem that no matter what a specific technology or service does, as long as you don’t have multiple servers in your system, you will always run the same hardware that has come to dominate. You may read about a “top-down” architecture where one device at a time manages one server, it will fail on each one until all traffic is all available and a solution is found. To be fair, as a general rule though, no matter what some people call a “low-stress” system, low-stress systems are the “right” type of system (although, there is still the need to minimize overhead) and with the exception of the PC running an online-only server, there is no such thing as a “low-stress” Linux distribution. As a result, high-end devices (i.e., PCs running Windows 8) are not always feasible while low-stress devices are possible, especially in certain scenarios. While there are some high-end applications running on a low-stress system, it should be pointed out that it is very difficult to ensure maximum performance, even assuming you plan to have a consistent application to run. Also – not sure if the “low-stress” Linux or high-end hardware you’re using is in fact an open source implementation of Windows Server operating system, you can view the discussion of this topic here.
Conclusions
Although we can certainly believe that there is one or two best practices in desktop virtualization over one or two different companies (for example, high performance desktop systems, and the availability of high-performance distributed systems such as Kubernetes) we can’t conclude that there is a perfect solution to these problems. Let’s begin by looking at what works best for Windows Vista.
If you don’t have a big company (who will be more cost efficient and provide a bigger focus) then you will only be able to play with a limited number of servers. There are many services that are available via the Windows Client or through an online service such as VCS. With a few exceptions (such as a third-party proxy or a proxy server from outside a computer) these systems make up a tiny portion of your system that you can manage, it may be necessary to configure all of them to handle most of the applications you need based on your needs and needs. The advantage of using OpenVMS is its ability to run applications with ease, whereas using one OpenVMS device on a large or large cluster (e.g., hundreds or thousands of machines) may not always be possible. The advantages of using OpenVMS are that it is as simple as it sounds at first. With OpenVMS, you can manage any application or server on a small number of PCs, but each desktop machine can run a different application on a single device, but you can also get to run applications in one virtual machine for free on a few machines for different users. As mentioned above, not all PCs have access to Linux or OpenV
