Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically repurposing and elastically scaling cloud computing networks and infrastructures in response to user workload requirements. The system receives, via a network interface, a workload request to manage a workload, determines workload requirements, and assigns the workload to an appropriate server in a server resource pool. Server capabilities and the server resource pool can be dynamically modified to satisfy current or expected workload requirements. An isolated gateway is provided such that data to and from the cloud computing network is physically segregated, thus providing data security. The cloud computing network is structured to provide multi-level security for workloads and workload owners.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a system, method, and computer readable medium for improved Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) performance by locally caching at least a part of a common operating environment (COE) gold image to hypervisor-node storage rather than shared data stores. Additionally, the present disclosure enables scheduled and differential synchronization of the gold images in off-hours to reduce loads on the shared data store.
