Cloud Office 4.0, a breakthrough for cloud desktop

In the post-PC era, PCs are being divided into personal and commercial use. However, commercial PCs are experiencing sluggish growth due to difficulties in management and maintenance, as well as low security. In this context, cloud desktops, as a typical application of virtualization and cloud computing technologies, have become an important choice for users to simplify IT operations and improve network security capabilities, and have been gradually applied in many industries.

But at the same time, there are still differences between cloud desktops and PCs in terms of product performance, user experience, etc., which has led to a slow progress in desktop cloudification and has become a gap between the early adopters of cloud desktop technology and the early masses.

Qu Jingyang, Director of Cloud Office Product Planning of Ruijie Networks Cloud Desktop Product Division, said, "The key to cloud desktops crossing the gap is related to the formula of replacing old technologies with new ones: customer willingness to replace = new value - old value - replacement cost. Therefore, Ruijie Networks Cloud Desktop launched the Cloud Office 4.0 solution based on the vision of "replacing commercial PCs". This solution makes up for the shortcomings of cloud desktops in terms of performance, further widens the gap with PCs in terms of advantages, provides a better user experience, and is a cloud desktop solution that achieves a 'crossover'."

Cloud office continues to improve and completely replaces commercial PCs

Adhering to user needs and actual application scenarios as the guide, Ruijie Cloud Office has formed a full-scenario solution that integrates the two major technical architectures of VDI and IDV, and is committed to meeting the business needs of different user groups. Ruijie Cloud Office solutions have achieved great success since their launch, with major versions of cloud office solutions iterating every year, continuously leading cloud office technology innovation. In 2019, Ruijie Network continued to improve and launched Cloud Office 4.0, which has the same performance as PC.

▲ Ruijie Cloud Office Development History

Cloud Office 4.0 has made more considerate designs in hardware, such as quick disassembly, separate screen switch for all-in-one machines, adjustment keys, etc. In terms of delivery, it has launched a golden image based on the genuine operating system, making cloud desktop implementation very simple, even surpassing PC; in terms of operating system compatibility, it has achieved running Windows XP and Win7 on the latest CPU system and is compatible with old business systems.

In addition, in actual applications, cloud desktop operators and users often put forward some contradictory requirements from a technical perspective. The most typical one is "retention of user personalized data" and "batch update of desktop software". These requirements are reasonable, but from the perspective of implementation, they are extremely difficult. Because batch maintenance and personalized use are like the two ends of a scale, which are difficult to balance.

Ruijie uses Windows system layering technology to productize user needs. The new application distribution function of Cloud Office 4.0 can realize batch updates of system patches, applications, and system configurations without losing any user data. At the same time, this function does not limit the editing of the parent image.

▲ User value of Cloud Office 4.0

Through the innovation of the integration solution of VDI and IDV technology architectures, Ruijie has completed the transformation from an innovator to a leader in the field of virtual desktops. Cloud Office 4.0 has achieved great breakthroughs in performance, design, delivery, compatibility, operation and maintenance, and provides users with an alternative to commercial PCs. In the future, Ruijie Cloud Desktop will make unremitting efforts to create a better user experience, enrich the product family, and continue to promote the process of desktop cloudification.
