Abstract

Currently, the application of science and technology to modernize study and research rooms in universities is a major challenge. The current situation shows that the facilities being provided for staff, lecturers, and students are not suitable for the rapid change in the outside world. In particular, the traditional Information Technology (IT) infrastructure provided to end users faces major problems, such as high cost, inflexibility, difficulty in maintenance, and limited ability to adapt to teaching majors. In this situation, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is a virtualization solution that enables the provisioning of desktop operating system instances on one or more centralized servers in a data center. The VDI technology creates virtual desktops on a central server that can be accessed by remote users from any physical device over a local network or the Internet. However, most VDI deployments in large organizations are set up with large systems, such as the VMware Horizon View ...
