1.virtual desktop infrastructure open source Introduction

1.1 Background

Virtualization is one of most important technology in modern computer network administration. Organization like universities use lots of computers. Maintaining this kind of large resource is high cost and also performance of those computers may not full fill the requirement of the students. Because of that management had to build new computer lab facilities according to requirements. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure is the better solution for this kind of organizations. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure, using software to virtualize desktops, then deliver that user experience centrally. Instead of users storing their OS, desktop personality and data on individual laptops or desktops, VDI enables desktop data to run centrally on servers maintained by IT admins, and just accessed locally via a traditional PC or a thin client (a network-connected device designed to access VDI images remotely).When we considering the COMPANYONE network, it include a network of large number of computers related to the administrative office, libraries, laboratories, etc....

1.2 Project

Implementing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure IT network is the major project. We use open source software, tools and OS in this project. Mainly we use Linux base OS (Fedora 20). In Virtualization we use OVirt platform. Using this network administrators can create and manage user desktop virtually. This also will helps for users to request facilities what they need form desktops. 
Below steps are followed by us to complete the project

• Creating and configuring network 
• Installing windows 2012 server and configuring DNS.
• Installing Fedora operating system
• Installing and configuring Ovirt Manager
• Installing and configuring Ovirt Hypervisor
• Configuring user desktops on Ovirt manager
