A storage-based VDI (Virtual Desktop Infrastructure) system has the disadvantage of degraded performance when IOs for the VDI system are concentrated on the storage. The performance of the VDI system decreases rapidly especially, in case of the boot storm wherein all virtual desktops boot simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a main memory-based virtual desktop system managing virtual desktop images on main memory to solve the performance degradation problem including the boot storm. Performance of the main memory-based VDI system is improved by storing the virtual desktop image on the main memory. Also, the virtual desktop images with large size can be stored in the main memory using deduplication technology. Implementation of the proposed VDI system indicated that it has 4 times performance benefit than the storage-based VDI system in case of the boot storm.

In this paper, we propose a framework to change local devices to networked devices by using web browser. Network devices will be used in the virtual desktop. Management software maintains a pool of devices to manage network devices. Whenever user's request is occured, virtual desktop s/w which manages desktop's I/O access device pool. Then virtual desktop s/w selects proper device and forwards I/O to desktop. In this paper, we choose RIA solution for install-free environment. Consequently, user easily enrolls and revokes their devices. User easily commands virtual desktop s/w. In the second half of this paper, we explain usage scenario and evaluate our framework to show efficiency and flexibility of the framework.

A user desktop service can be made available on internet or local area network with the help of virtualization and cloud technologies. The service is usually called a virtual desktop or a desktop cloud. However, a user interface is limited to I/O capabilities of a user's mobile terminal. In order to enhance a user interface on a remote virtual desktop, it is important to connect full-featured I/O devices which are founded locally. Our previous work called SoD (System-on- Demand) has proposed a technique to associate local full-featured I/O devices with a remote virtual desktop in Xen. On the technique, it is required to install a SoD client agent in a user's mobile terminal for connecting a remote virtual desktop. In this paper, we propose a new framework called Web-SoD that does not require any explicit installation to make SoD service available. The SoD client agent is provided by the web technology so that the agent can be installed transparently, and the platform independency is also achieved. Due to insufficient network socket performance of current web technologies, we extend Native Client (NaCl) proposed by Google to support a network functionality by modifying a NaCl library and a service runtime. With conducted experiment, we show that the network extension supports a full socket functionality over the compromised overhead on the web environment.

Recently virtualization becomes one of the most popular research topics. and a lot of software products which is related to virtualization have been released accordingly. Server virtualization, which virtualize physical servers to supply many virtual servers, provides very efficient way to build network-based servers. In this paper, we design and implement virtual desktop service which is based on server virtualization. We also propose load balancing scheme for the virtual desktop service. The proposed virtual desktop service and its load balancing scheme provides a cost-effective way to build high-performance remote desktop service.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, companies and institutions are introducing virtual desktop technology, one of the logical network separation technologies, to establish a safe working environment in a situation where remote work is provided. With the introduction of virtual desktop technology, companies and institutions can operate the network separation environment more safely and effectively, and can access the business network quickly and safely to increase work efficiency and productivity. However, when introducing virtual desktop technology, there is a cost problem of high-spec server, storage, and license, and it is necessary to supplement in terms of operation and management. As a countermeasure to this, companies and institutions are shifting to cloud computing-based technology, virtual desktop service (DaaS, Desktop as a Service). However, in the virtual desktop service, which is a cloud computing-based technology, the shared responsibility model is responsible for user access control and data security. In this paper, based on the shared responsibility model in the virtual desktop service environment, we propose a cloud-based hardware security module (Cloud HSM) and edge-DRM proxy as an improvement method for user access control and data security.

This paper proposes a novel desktop virtual reality system. Based on the position of the user's face, the proposed system selects the most appropriate image of an object from a set of photographs taken at various angles, and simply "pastes" it onto the display at the appropriate location and scale. Using this system, the users can intuitively feel the presence of the object.

Recently, with the enlargement of cloud computing, virtual desktop infrastructure(VDI) can be an alternative of the existing personal computer based information environment. For the case of partially introduced VDI coexisting with personal computer environment, we suggest a virtual folder based approach to control the overall digital contents within an organization with a case of implementation. Although a centralizing device was used for storage and sharing of organization's digital contents, it was not easy to accomplish centralizing digital contents completely. It is tried to prevent users from utilizing their own storage in their personal computers or virtual machines and to use virtual folder which transfer and store digital contents to and in EDMS. The virtual folder system of this paper looks like a real folder in a personal computer, but it is another virtual device for outer storage devices including EDMS. It can be an alternative and reference of digital contents control for future applications of cloud computing.

The growing demand of virtual computing and storage resources in the cloud computing environment has led to deduplication of storage system for effective reduction and utilization of storage space. In particular, large reduction in the storage space is made possible by preventing data with identical content as the virtual desktop images from being stored on the virtual desktop infrastructure. However, in order to provide reliable support of virtual desktop services, the storage system must address a variety of workloads by virtual desktop, such as performance overhead due to deduplication, periodic data I/O storms and frequent random I/O operations. In this paper, we designed and implemented a clustered file system to support virtual desktop and storage services in cloud computing environment. The proposed clustered file system provides low storage consumption by means of inline deduplication on virtual desktop images. In addition, it reduces performance overhead by deduplication process in the data server and not the virtual host on which virtual desktops are running.

In this paper, we propose BRAIDS, a boot storm mitigation plan consisting of an AI-based VDI usage prediction system and a virtual machine boot scheduler system, to alleviate boot storms and improve service stability. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) is an important technology for improving an organization's work productivity and increasing IT infrastructure efficiency. Boot storms that occur when multiple virtual desktops boot simultaneously cause poor performance and increased latency. Using the xgboost algorithm, existing VDI usage data is used to predict future VDI usage. In addition, it receives the predicted usage as input, defines a boot storm considering the hardware specifications of the VDI server and virtual machine, and provides a schedule to sequentially boot virtual machines to alleviate boot storms. Through the case study, the VDI usage prediction model showed high prediction accuracy and performance improvement, and it was confirmed that the boot storm phenomenon in the virtual desktop environment can be alleviated and IT infrastructure can be utilized efficiently through the virtual machine boot scheduler.

Recently, as Virtual Desktop Infrastructure(VDI) is widely used not only in office work environments but also in workloads that use high-spec multi-core-based applications, the requirements for real-time and stability of VDI are increasing. Accordingly, the display protocol used for remote access in VDI and performance optimization of virtual machines have also become more important. In this paper, we propose two ways to configure desktop virtualization for multi-core-based application operation. First, we propose a codec configuration of a display protocol with optimal performance in a high load situation due to multi-processing. Second, we propose a virtual CPU scheduling optimization method to reduce scheduling delay in case of CPU contention between virtual machines. As a result of the test, it was confirmed that the H.264 codec of Blast Extreme showed the best and stable frame, and the scheduling performance of the virtual CPU was improved through scheduling optimization.
