In this post i am gonna show you how can run multiple computers from single cpu.I mean how can you run multiple workstations from single cpu .
Recently i have been given a task of setting up a computer lab for 11 users . So as usual i decided to buy 11 monitors 11 keyboards , 11 mouse , 11 speakers and 11 cpu cabinet to make 11 complete and individual desktop computers for 11 users .I was about to buy these equipments then suddenly some one told me why not use desktop virtualization technology ?
desktop virtualization ? what is that ? I asked him and he told me i can run 12 desktops from single cpu.
No i started to research and came to conclusion that this is one of the best thing which i have came to know recently in computer field .
so what is desktop virtualization? In simple terms it is sharing the power of single cpu to multiple users .It appears to each of the user that he is using his own complete setup including processor .This technology is not new but its avaibility to general public is certainly new.
Here is simple example to understand how to set up desktop virtualization.
what you are going to need if you don’t want to use desktop virtualization.
11 monitors
11 speakers
11 keyboards
11 mouse
11 cpu
what you are going to need if you want to use desktop virtualization
11 monitors
11 speakers
11 keyboards
11 mouse
2 cpu
2 desktop virtualization kits (a kit comes with software and hardware and can support 5 users.)
Advantage of running multiple computers from single cpu
You are saving the maintainence and power cost of 10 cpu.
typically a user is able to utilize only 10 % of available cpu power . This one kit uses approx 70 % of cpu power among 6 users including the host.
currently the company which is providing this kit is ncomputing .For more information and processing related issues visit product guide.
There are two models available one is ncomputing x550 and other one is ncomputing x350. Select according to your requirements .
I have ordered 1 for myself .
Here is a video which explains in details
