Abstract :
[en] Saving power becomes one of the main
objectives in information technology industry and research.
Companies consume a lot of money in the shape
of power consuming. Virtual Desktop Infrastructure
(VDI) is a new shape of delivering operating systems
remotely. Operating systems are executing in a cloud
data center. Users desktops and applications can be
accessed by using thin client devices. Thin client device
is consisting of screen attached with small CPU. VDI
has benefits in terms of cost reduction and energy
saving. In this paper, we increase the power saved by
Grinfy system. Without VDI, Grinfy can save at least
30% of energy consumption to its users companies.
By integrating VDI in computing systems and using
Grinfy, the power efficiency and saving can be improved
and save more than 30%. The improving and increasing
of energy saving features of VDI are also illustrated by
experiment and will be integrated to Grinfy system to
increase percentage of energy saved.
