Abstract

The article examines the characteristics and performance of access protocols for cloud computing environments based on universal testing. A method for evaluating efficiency is proposed, based on a generalized time criterion that integrates three key aspects: CPU resource utilization, RAM load, and network interaction efficiency. A performance normalization algorithm is studied, ensuring more accurate protocol assessment under both standard conditions and variable workloads. The VDtest software tool is used for comparative analysis, allowing for adaptive selection of testing parameters according to real-world operational scenarios. The performance analysis of key VDI protocols, such as PCoIP, RDP, HDX, and SPICE, is conducted under various usage conditions, including multimedia applications, large-scale data processing, and mission-critical corporate services. The obtained results reveal significant differences between the protocols, emphasizing the necessity of selecting the optimal solution based on specific user requirements and business objectives. Special attention is given to the adaptability of protocols to different usage scenarios, including scalability options for large corporate networks and integration with existing cybersecurity systems, which is crucial for maintaining data confidentiality in cloud environments. The results of the analysis enabled the development of recommendations for selecting and configuring protocols according to the needs of organizations handling mission-critical information, ensuring latency minimization, reduced network resource usage, and optimized access speed to remote servers. The findings contribute to enhancing the efficiency of cloud services and the development of new methods for optimizing network protocols, playing a key role in future research on virtualized environments and remote access technologies.
