Restrictions on Sales Scenarios

Table 1 describes the sales scenarios of Workspace.

  • Sales allowed: Workspace can meet the requirements of most common scenarios. However, as user experience is closely related to network QoS and cloud desktop configurations, PoC, performance, and compatibility tests should be performed after customers sign for approval.
  • Sales restricted: Workspace may not be able to meet requirements in these scenarios. A PoC test must be performed to evaluate desktop performance and compatibility. Sales is allowed only when the performance and compatibility meet customer requirements.
  • Sales prohibited: Workspace cannot be sold because it does not meet customer requirements.

Sales Scenario

Network Access of End Users

Description

Sales allowed

NOTE:

PoC tests must be performed. The performance and compatibility result must be approved with the customer signature.

Office automation (OA)

Internet and Direct Connect access

OA of government organizations and enterprises. Typical applications include Microsoft Office, WPS, Chrome, and audio and video players. The typical scenarios are as follows:

  • Secure intranet OA
  • Work from home/Remote OA
  • Upstream and downstream secure OA such as suppliers
  • Customer service and O&M
  • Multi-branch office access in retail stores/enterprises

Development and testing

Internet and Direct Connect access

Code development and testing of small and medium-sized enterprises. Typical applications include Eclipse, Visual Studio, IDE, XShell, and PuTTY. The typical scenarios are as follows:

  • Software development, testing, and outsourcing
  • Big data development and testing
  • Chip design and R&D
  • Web development

GPU design

Internet and Direct Connect access

3D design and rendering in the design and manufacturing industries. Typical applications include AutoCAD, CATIA, Creo, NX, Maya, 3ds Max, UE4, Premiere, and BIM. The typical scenarios are as follows:

  • Industrial design (automobiles, integrated circuits, and home appliances, etc.)
  • Media production (movies, broadcasting, and television)
  • Architectural design (buildings, real estate, and interior design)
  • Rendering/Animation (gaming/virtual humans)

Sales restricted

NOTE:

PoC tests must be performed. The performance and compatibility result must be approved with the customer signature.

Concurrent peripherals

Internet and Direct Connect access

Although end users use Direct Connect for access, they still need latency-sensitive peripheral functions, such as handwriting tablet, camera, high-speed document scanner, scanner, and printer. In addition, multiple peripherals may be used for access at the same time. The bandwidth and latency requirements of peripherals are subject to the PoC test.

Non-linear video editing

Internet and Direct Connect access

Non-linear editing (NLE) requires hardware resources of high-performance graphics cloud workstations. More editing tracks require higher configuration. The compatibility of NLE software also depends on partners' application software. The PoC test result shall prevail and the sales are restricted.

Video conferencing

Internet and Direct Connect access

Video conferencing:

Video conferencing requires concurrent video codec. CPU/GPU codec is resource- and bandwidth-consuming. Video conferencing software based on the existing VDI network architecture cannot ensure good user experience if the VDI is not optimized.

Solution:

Use a PC as the client and hold a video conference on the PC. That is, install the video conferencing software on the PC rather than on Workspace. Perform PoC tests and the test result must be approved with the customer signature.

Call centers

Internet and Direct Connect access

There is a mature solution based on Huawei AICC. Perform PoC tests to check whether the performance and latency meet customer requirements.

Sales prohibited

NOTE:

Scenarios and solution capabilities do not match.

Embedded development and hardware burning

N/A

Embedded development involves hardware burning, which is sensitive to network latency and jitter. The cross-network technical architecture adopted by the Workspace solution cannot meet the requirements on latency and jitter.

Simulation (such as Android development)

Emulator simulation involves nested virtualization. Huawei Cloud platform does not support the nested virtualization function.

Nested desktop login

In nested desktop login scenarios, user experience cannot be guaranteed. For example, a computer slowly responds to keyboard and mouse device operations due to the delay in multi-layer nesting, compression artifact occurs, and even other functions are affected.

Video surveillance

The performance of video surveillance depends on the decoding mechanism of video software, GPU decoding, and number of concurrent video channels. Currently, Workspace cannot provide proprietary GPU desktops to meet these requirements.
