Features
ZTE’s end-to-end desktop cloud
solution has the following features:
Separation of data and terminals
sothat sensitive information is
secure: Terminals are separated from
sensitive information. Desktops
and data are centrally stored and
processed in the background. Only
screen refreshes are transmitted,
without any data loss or breaches of
confidence. Remote access is also
authorized.
Energy efficiency to reduce TCO:
Thin terminals are quiet and
consume less power. They are a
solution to the problems of noise
and high temperature in confined
office environments and also reduce
electricity costs. Thin clients and
desktop operating systems do not
need to be maintained. This simplifies
O&M and reduces OPEX.
Flexible access to mobile office:
Data and desktops are stored and
operated at the data center so that
users can access mobile office
anywhere and at any time. Users can

gain flexible remote access using
their terminals without interrupting
running applications.
Unified O&M to enable resource
sharing: Managing thousands of thin
terminals is easy with the unified
management platform. The data
center uses virtualization technology
to integrate all computing, storage,
and network resources into a shared
resource pool for simple and unified
management, maintenance and
technical support. This reduces
management, purchasing, electricity
and air conditioning costs.
Application Models

in government, large and medium
enterprises, finance, education, and
medical care. Application models can
be designed for R&D departments
and other offices that require high
information security, public service halls
and counters, integrated call centers, and
mobile offices.
ZTE’s desktop cloud is widely used
in government and enterprise. 60% of
the employees of a particular design
institute are designers. These employees
use AutoCAD for graphic design and
have specialized workstations. 40% are
office workers who use regular PCs.
Graphic designs are stored in personal
terminals, so there is a hidden risk of
information being disclosed without
authorization. A graphic workstation
is also very expensive to purchase and
operate.
ZTE’s desktop cloud solution can
address these problems. Graphic
workstations are centrally located in
a data center, and thin clients are used
as PC terminals. The server provides
workstations for the graphic designers
and virtual hosts for the office workers.
Core design information is kept in
the data center and expensive graphic
workstations are shared by users.
Desktops for graphic workstations and
office computers are also managed in a
unified manner. This improves O&M.
