  • Systems and methods for streaming an application via object storage
    Patent number: 11418555
    Abstract: Systems and methods stream an application on a computer system. A compressed archive of an installation directory of the application may be created and stored as a storage object. Two mount points may be established at the computer system. One mount point may provide a window to the storage object holding the compressed archive. The other mount point may present an interface to the installation directory. In response to requests by the application to access files from its installation directory, the systems and methods may retrieve the portion of the compressed archive containing that file from the storage object. The systems and methods may extract, e.g., decompress, the requested file from the retrieved page and serve it at the second mount point. The computer system may then provide the requested file to the application.
