Abstract: Virtualization software installed in a standalone host is remediated according to a desired state model using a desired image of a virtualization software that is used to remediate virtualization software running in hosts which are logically grouped as a cluster of hosts not including the standalone host. The method of remediating the virtualization software installed in the standalone host includes the steps of generating a desired image of the virtualization software of the standalone host from a desired image of the virtualization software of the hosts in the cluster, and upon detecting a difference between an image of the virtualization software currently running in the standalone host and the desired image of the virtualization software of the standalone host, instructing the standalone host to remediate the image of the virtualization software currently running therein to match the desired image of the virtualization software of the standalone host.

Abstract: A method for managing virtual machines in an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed. The method may include receiving a characteristic of a first virtual machine from a connection broker and hosting the first virtual machine on a virtualization server. The method may further include determining availability of more than one virtual machine and if more than one virtual machine is available, hosting a second virtual machine having the characteristic of the first virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for providing a desktop environment solution is provided. The method may include providing a client information handling system and authenticating the client to a network. Furthermore, a hardware configuration of the client may be dynamically examined, and an appropriate desktop environment solution may be selected based on the hardware configuration.

Abstract: A method of delivering advertising in an online environment includes determining an intent of a user interacting with an e-commerce website and determining a hurdle rate, based at least on the intent of the user, that identifies a threshold amount to be bid by an advertiser in order to display an advertisement to the user interacting with the e-commerce website. The method may further include selecting, from a plurality of advertisements, one or more optimal advertisements having a combined advertiser bid that exceeds the determined hurdle rate. The method may further include providing one or more controls in a user interface of a client computer system, each of the controls being associated with a respective advertisement of the one or more optimal advertisements and adapted to enable the user to select one or more of the controls, and providing an element, responsive to an input of the user, that is adapted to display, to the user, the respective advertisements selected by the user.

Abstract: A method can include monitoring a proportion of a particular type of information handling system resource used by a particular virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines. The particular virtual machine can be accessible to a thin client information handling system via a communications broker. The method can include sending first data to the communications broker, the first data indicating the proportion of the particular type of information handling system resource used by the particular virtual machine, and receiving second data from the communications broker. The second data can indicate that a greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource is to be allocated to the particular virtual machine. The method can include automatically allocating the greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource to the particular virtual machine in response to the second data.
