Abstract: A scanner redirection method for a remote desktop system includes the steps of: transmitting to a client computer, a request to acquire a first image from an image capturing device connected to the client computer; in response to receiving image data from the client computer of a first chunk of the first image and an identifier (ID) of the first chunk, storing the image data of the first chunk and the ID of the first chunk in association with each other; in response to receiving an ID from the client computer of a second chunk of the first image without any associated image data, retrieving image data that is stored in association with the ID of the second chunk; and creating the first image using the image data of the first chunk and the retrieved image data that is stored in association with the ID of the second chunk.

Abstract: A scanner redirection method for a remote desktop computer system, wherein the remote desktop computer system includes a plurality of client computers and a remote computer, and wherein the remote computer concurrently has a first remote desktop session with a first client computer and a second remote desktop session with a second client computer, the scanner redirection method comprising: creating a first list of image capturing devices that are connected to the first client computer; creating a second list of image capturing devices that are connected to the second client computer; in response to receiving from the first client computer a selection of a first image capturing device from the first list, transmitting to the first client computer, an identifier (ID) of the first image capturing device; and after transmitting the ID, receiving from the first client computer, an image created by the first image capturing device.

Abstract: A scanner redirection method for a remote desktop computer system that includes a client computer and a remote virtual machine (VM), includes the steps of: setting a virtual data source of the remote VM to use one of a plurality of transfer modes selected by a user of an application executing on the remote VM, wherein each of the transfer modes specifies how images are to be provided to the application; transmitting a request to the client computer to acquire an image, wherein the client computer acquires the image from an image capturing device connected to the client computer and then transmits the image to the remote VM; and upon receiving the image from the client computer, providing, by the virtual data source to the application, the image according to the selected transfer mode setting of the virtual data source.

Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to manage the updates for a container runtime. In one example, a host identifies a request to update a container runtime from a first version to a second version for a container executing in a virtual machine. The host further initiates execution of a second container in a second virtual machine with the second version of the container runtime, wherein the second container uses the same root filesystem as the first container. The host also updates any required networking configurations to direct communications to the second container over the first container and stops execution of the first container.
