Advantages 1: Maintenance-free. Personally, one of the biggest advantages of Yulong Cloud Terminal is maintenance-free. Because the cloud terminal does not store and calculate data in most cases, the system desktop operated by the terminal is uniformly operated and managed by the server. In other words, when the system running on the terminal fails and needs to be upgraded, we only need to operate on the server, and the cloud terminal does not need maintenance and management.
Advantage 2: Low cost. The reason why cloud terminals have developed so rapidly and been accepted by everyone in just a few years is because it has a very important advantage, that is, low cost. The cloud terminal itself is small and cannot accommodate higher hardware resources, so its hardware cost will be lower. The advantage of low cost is also an important reason why many people choose to use it.
Advantage 3: Low energy consumption. I think the third advantage of cloud terminal is low energy consumption. Compared with the traditional desktop, the power consumption of the cloud terminal based on ARM architecture or X86 architecture will be lower, especially the cloud terminal based on ARM architecture, which normally only uses 5W, which is lower than the power consumption of the mobile phone we use. The advantage of low power consumption makes its power consumption lower, and at the same time, low power consumption meets the needs of national environmental protection and energy saving policies.
Advantage 4: Small size. There is another advantage of cloud terminal, which I think is also very important. The advantage of small size is that it doesn't take up space, and it can be hung directly behind the monitor, which makes our office environment look more concise and clear, rather than as messy as when using a desktop.
Analysis of shortcomings of cloud terminal;
Disadvantages 1: Low configuration. Through observation, we can find that the configuration of the cloud terminal itself is not very high, let alone the cloud terminal based on ARM architecture. Take X86 cloud terminal as an example. Although its CPU, memory and hard disk are the same as PC, it still can't be compared with PC in configuration.
Disadvantage 2: poor compatibility. Compared with traditional PC, cloud terminal has an obvious disadvantage, that is, its compatibility is worse than that of PC. Because the desktop system we use is not distributed through the hardware resources of the cloud terminal, but a virtual desktop on the connected server, affected by some factors such as transmission protocol and virtualization, its compatibility with software and some peripheral devices will be relatively weak.
Disadvantage 3: low performance. The low performance mentioned here is related to the high-configuration PC. Although the cloud terminal can basically meet other office needs, its performance can not achieve the ideal use effect for some large-scale 3D applications.
