In order to improve education information technology, school leaders would like to adopt OS-Easy cloud desktop (E-VDI) in their new build computer lab. Abandoned the traditional PC to realize computer desktop centralized management, it can save much cost in maintenance, investment, and power consumption. In the Fourth Middle School, implement 80OS-Easy E-VDI cloud desktops in the classroom, and use all-in-one (AIO) as terminal devices. Then deploy win7 teaching desktops, common software and OS-Easy Interactive Teaching System for every desktop on server, and use a teaching PC as the console for interactive teaching. In E-VDI, terminal devices are only used for displaying desktop screen and transmitting keyboard & mouse signals, all data is stored in servers for centralized management and big data management. All the desktops actually run in the servers, therefore, we can maintain all thin AIO terminal by managing server.
