Abstract: Systems and methods for constructing extensible event log with JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) encoded payload data. The system includes a computing device. The computing device may be connected to a device, where an event has occurred. The device may send a message to the management software of the computing device based on the event, where the message includes information corresponding to an event occurred at the device and payload data of the event. When the management software receives the message, the management software may determine an event type of the event based on the information, and then convert the payload data of the event to encoded payload data in an extensible format, such as the JSON format. Thus, the management software may generate and store an event log comprising the event type and the encoded payload data.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determination of a policy in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) system. The system includes a virtual machine (VM) server providing VMs, and a VDI controller connected to the VM server. When the VDI controller receives a login request by a user from a computing device, the VDI controller authenticates the login request, and controls the VM server to assign one of the VMs to the computing device. In doing so, the VDI controller may obtain user information corresponding to the user and device information corresponding to the computing device based on the login request, and retrieve VM information of the VM being assigned to the computing device. Then the VDI controller may determine, from a plurality of policies, a specific policy for the user based on the user information, the device information and the VM information to define permission states of functionalities provided by the VM.

Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and a computer system are provided. A first device of the computer system provides a service interface for retrieving stored service request templates for executing actions on a computing pod. The first device receives, at the service interface, a template request for a service request template for constructing a reused service request, the reused service request requesting the computing pod to execute a first action. The first device retrieves the service request template from a data store in accordance with information provided by the template request. The first device sends the service request template in a response to the template request.

Abstract: Certain aspects direct to systems and methods for performing virtual machine (VM) management to provide efficient user login and minimize resource usage. The system includes a virtual machine server storing a hypervisor and multiple VMs, and a virtual desktop controller. The virtual desktop controller is configured to control the virtual machine server to execute the hypervisor, and to execute at least (M+S) instances of the VMs on the executed hypervisor. When the virtual desktop controller detects a current number X of the executed VMs on the executed hypervisor, the virtual desktop controller determines whether X is greater than M. If X is greater than M, the virtual desktop controller controls the virtual machine server to execute some instances unexecuted VMs as the spare VMs on the hypervisor, such that S instances of the spare VMs are available to provide efficient user login.

Abstract: Certain aspect of the present disclosure relates to a power management system. A detection device generates detection signals based on detection of a plurality of user identification (ID) devices, and sends the detection signals to a power management controller. For each of the user ID devices being detected, the power management controller retrieves the corresponding user ID, and determines a user ID device presence event based on the received detection signals. In response to determining the user ID device presence event, the power management controller retrieves device IDs associated with the corresponding user ID of the user ID device from a database, and determine a target device based on the retrieved device IDs. Then the power management controller may power on or power off the target device based on the determined user ID device presence event and the power state of the target device.

Abstract: Methods and computer systems render displays of text strings during bios activity by utilizing escape codes within the strings to signify that portions of the text strings are to be displayed in various formats. One escape code signifies one format, such as bold typeface while another escape code signifies another format, such as underlined. A display engine of the BIOS when generating the display of text strings encounters the escape codes, interprets them to determine the format for the subsequent text, and renders the display of the subsequent text in the corresponding format.
