Abstract: Virtual machine sessions may be hosted by a virtualization computing platform. A portion of the virtual machine sessions that are inactive may be identified. The virtualization computing platform may continue to host the virtual machine sessions that are inactive. A determination may be made that utilization of one or more resources associated with the virtualization computing platform exceeds a threshold. Responsive to determining that utilization of the one or more resources associated with the virtualization computing platform exceeds the threshold, the virtualization computing platform may cease to host one or more of the portion of virtual machine sessions that are inactive.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for creating and managing cloud servers and services using a multi-tenant multi-session catalog with machine-level isolation are described herein. In one or more embodiments, a cloud service provider may receive requests from one or more tenants for predefined numbers of servers. The cloud service provider may initialize a plurality of servers, wherein the plurality of servers is less than a sum of the totality of server requests, and create a catalog of unassigned servers of the plurality of servers. Responsive to a logon request from a user of a tenant, the cloud service provider may assign a server from the catalog of unassigned servers to the tenant, remove the server from the catalog of unassigned servers, broker the user of the tenant to connect to the server, and limit access to the server to only users of the tenant.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for redirecting a web browser application for secure web browsing are described herein. In various embodiments, a user web browser application executing within a secure network may request the content of a website outside of the secure network. In response to the request, an address translation service may redirect the user web browser application to a redirector service to respond to the request. In response to the request, the redirector service may request a hosted web browser application that may be able to navigate to the requested website.

Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses may provide password encryption for hybrid cloud services. A workspace cloud connector internally residing with an entity may intercept user credentials associated with an internal application being transmitted to an external cloud service. The workspace cloud connector may generate an encryption key and encrypt the user credentials via a reversible encryption methodology. The workspace cloud connector may encrypt the encryption key using an irreversible encryption methodology (e.g., use a hashing function to produce a first hash). The workspace cloud connector may transmit the encrypted user credentials and the first hash to a virtual delivery agent via a first path (e.g., via the external cloud service). In response, the workspace cloud connector may receive an address of the virtual delivery agent and, using the address, may send the encryption key to the virtual delivery agent via a second path different from the first path.

Abstract: The embodiments are directed to methods and systems for determining whether a server should be placed in maintenance mode. The methods and systems can create a user group comprising one or more client devices connected to one or more permanently installed applications or one or more virtual desktops hosted on the server. The methods and systems can create a temporary directory containing duplicates of the one or more applications or one or more virtual desktops that the one or more client devices are connected to. The methods and systems can disconnect the one or more client devices from the one or more permanent applications or virtual desktops, and connect the one or more user devices to the one or more duplicate applications or virtual desktops.
