Cloud desktop and desktop virtualization literally look like the same kind of concept, but the real meaning is not the same. So many people don't understand exactly what a cloud desktop is and what desktop virtualization is.
Cloud desktop

Cloud desktop is a typical application in the era of cloud computing, including personal-level applications and organizational-level applications. It can take the data space, management services, and provide desktop-oriented way to publish to the operator, which is suitable as a network operating system for micro-held mobile applications such as tablets, cell phones, etc., and can also upgrade the traditional PC to network operation.

Cloud desktop based on data space, mainly through the virtualization application, the cloud resources are released to the operating terminals, still belongs to the data platform cloud operating system. For example, Yulong Cloud makes use of the cloud desktop to make solutions.

Cloud desktop based on management services, mainly through the SOA concept, the ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) and EBB (Enterprise Business Bus) content, released to the operating terminals, belongs to the business platform cloud operating system.
Desktop Virtualization
- Desktop virtualization refers to the virtualization of a computer's terminal system (also called a desktop) to achieve security and flexibility in desktop use. The desktop system belonging to our individual can be accessed from any device, anywhere, anytime over the network.

Desktop virtualization relies on server virtualization, which is performed on servers in data centers to generate a large number of independent desktop operating systems (virtual machines or virtual desktops) that are also sent to end devices according to a proprietary virtual desktop protocol. The user terminal logs on to the virtual host via Ethernet, and only needs to remember the user name and password and gateway information to access his or her desktop system over the network anytime, anywhere, thus realizing single-computer multi-user.
Desktop virtualization is based on virtualizing the computer's terminal system, while the cloud desktop is the data, services, and provides a way to publish to the operator
