HyperBox: distributed, multi-platform, integrated desktop cloud system

1. What is HyperBox Desktop Cloud solution?

HyperBox Desktop Cloud solution includes HyperBox Desktop Virtualization system and JH series cloud terminals. HyperBox adopts integrated design (All-in-One), based on symmetrical cluster (Symmetric Clustering) architecture, and supports multiple virtualization platforms and multi-desktop protocols. The utility model has the characteristics of simplicity, easy to use and flexibility. It is suitable for desktop cloud scenarios such as education and office.

2. The overall architecture of HyperBox Desktop Cloud solution

HyperBox desktop cloud solution takes HyperBox desktop virtualization management system as the core, which can connect to mainstream virtualization systems. The scheme supports multiple desktop protocols such as RDP, PCoIP and SPICE.

Hardware layer: server, network device

Virtualization layer: virtualization layer is the mainstream virtualization system, such as Hyper-V, VMware, Proxmox, XenServer.

Desktop management: the HyperBox management system is deployed as a virtual machine in a virtual machine. Multiple HpyerBox management systems can be connected to each other into a symmetrical cluster. Achieve unified management, load balancing, redundancy and backup.

Cloud terminal layer: including ARM cloud terminal and X86 cloud terminal.

At present, HyperBox desktop cloud solutions mainly support cloud classroom applications and cloud office applications.

3. Architecture characteristics of HyperBox desktop virtualization system.

The main features of HyperBox desktop virtualization are:

Integrated design (All-in-One), peer-to-peer cluster architecture, multi-virtualization platform, multi-protocol.

3.1.Integrative design of HyperBox (All-in-One)

The All-in-One of HyperBox is embodied in two levels.

Integrated deployment: in the design of system functions, HyperBox's management system integrates a variety of functional modules needed by the desktop cloud system, including session management, load balancing, database, mirror management and so on. The HyperBox management system runs in a Linux system and is published in virtual machine mirroring mode. You only need to deploy a HyperBox management virtual machine to complete the installation of HyperBox.

Integrated delivery: HyperBox support is packaged and delivered to customers as a desktop cloud all-in-one. The characteristic of HyperBox's all-in-one machine is that the integrator can choose the server hardware and virtualization system independently, which can be used out of the box at the customer site. Integrators can build desktop cloud all-in-one machines that suit the characteristics of their solutions based on their own project experience.

At present, some desktop cloud all-in-one machines on the market are packaged by desktop cloud manufacturers. The reason is that desktop cloud manufacturers in the market adopt virtualization systems based on open source customization, which have poor compatibility with hardware. Only one server can be selected for package sale. The integrator does not have a choice between server hardware and virtualization systems. The flexibility of the scheme is poor.

The integrated design of HyperBox simplifies the deployment of the system, saves the licensing costs of commercial operating systems and databases, and makes maintenance easier. Allow integrators to customize desktop all-in-one machines in line with their own program characteristics to achieve fast delivery.

HyperBox's symmetrical cluster architecture (Symmetric Clustering)

HyperBox cluster adopts symmetrical cluster architecture, all nodes are active, and all nodes participate in the processing of desktop session requests. When a node fails, other nodes in the cluster take over the workload and continue to process the desktop session. The nodes of the cluster are in a state of load balancing. The nodes in the cluster can share the workload and improve the performance and scalability of the whole cluster.

HyperBox's symmetrical cluster architecture brings a series of advantages to the deployment, operation and maintenance of the system.

Deployment is simple: when the first node is installed, create a cluster, and the subsequent nodes can join the cluster. Each node deploys the same software.

Load balancing: the nodes in the cluster share the load of desktop sessions.

Fault backup: if one node fails, the other nodes in the cluster will take over the workload. Realize the redundant backup of Numb1 and Numm flexibly.

Linear scaling: the overall capacity of the system can be expanded by increasing the nodes of the cluster.

Unified management: by connecting any node of the cluster, the whole cluster can be managed uniformly.

HyperBox support for multiple Virtualization platforms (Multiple Hypervisor)

Server virtualization is one of the key components of Desktop Virtualization system (VDI). The stability and compatibility of server virtualization directly affect the stability and compatibility of desktop cloud virtualization business.

HyperBox desktop virtualization system supports mainstream virtualization systems in the industry, including Hyper-V, VMware, XenServer, and Proxmox. These virtualization systems have high stability, good hardware compatibility and a wide range of users in the enterprise.

HyperBox supports a variety of virtualization platforms, which helps integrators and users choose to be familiar with virtualization platforms to build desktop cloud systems, and helps to integrate with existing enterprise IT infrastructure. Reduce the difficulty of deployment and maintenance costs. These mainstream virtualization systems have their own ecosystem and provide good supporting solutions, such as storage connection scheme, disaster recovery and backup scheme, operation and maintenance network management scheme.

3.4.Multiprotocol support for HyperBox (Multiple Protocol)

HyperBox management system supports a variety of desktop protocols: RDP, SPICE, PCoIP. Which protocol can be supported is related to the virtualization platform. When using Proxmox virtualization, SPICE and RDP can be supported. When using VMware virtualization, PCoIP and RDP can be supported. When using Hyper-V and XenServer platforms, RDP protocol is supported.
