Huawei lays claim to world’s largest desktop cloud
Huawei has given its backing to desktop virtualisation, revealing 45,000 of its own engineers use the technology.
The Chinese telecoms company only began to use desktop virtualisation in 2009, starting the roll-out at its research and development centre in Shanghai.
However, its sucessful implementation and positive feedback from users made Huawei turn the initial deployment into an entire programme, called the Huawei Desktop Cloud. "Compared to conventional desktop technology, it is estimated that using a desktop cloud can save businesses 30 per cent of a traditional investment and conserve 73 per cent in power consumption, as well as maximise the facility's CPU with an increase of 60 per cent capacity, from five per cent,” claimed Huawei.
