Sistema baseado em infraestrutura de desktops virtuais em nuvem pública para ensino e pesquisa

Abstract

Access to high-performance computing resources is essential for conducting academic and scientific research. However, acquiring and maintaining high-performance desktops is a challenge for public higher education institutions due to the existence of complex and lengthy bidding processes. On the other hand, university students from low-income families, who do not have the financial means to purchase a personal computer, may have difficulties carrying out academic activities both inside and outside the university. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop a VDI system capable of enabling students and researchers from higher education institutions to access virtual desktops allocated in the public cloud through any device with internet access and web browser support, improving the management of the most powerful computing resources, as they are consumed as a service instead of being acquired through complex and lengthy bidding processes.
