Hardware Virtualization with Proxmox for Remote Access of Students in the Assembly and Maintenance of Computer Equipment Program at the Luis Tello Technological Institute

Abstract

This research evaluated the implementation of virtualization with Proxmox at the Instituto Superior Tecnológico Luis Tello, aiming to improve remote access to virtualized equipment for students in the Assembly and Maintenance of Computer Equipment program, overcoming the limitations of outdated hardware. A descriptive approach with a cross-sectional design was used, applying a literature review and practical laboratory tests with 14 students. The results showed that simple tasks, such as watching videos and participating in forums, were more efficient, while complex tasks, such as uploading files or completing quizzes, experienced delays and errors. The overall satisfaction of the students was "very satisfactory." However, delays were identified in resource-intensive applications, suggesting the need to upgrade the hardware. As future work, it is recommended to improve the hardware and network infrastructure and conduct periodic evaluations to optimize performance and user experience
