Patent number: 11100253Abstract: An administrator may set restrictions related to the operation of a virtual machine (VM), and virtualization software enforces such restrictions. There may be restrictions related to the general use of the VM, such as who may use the VM, when the VM may be used, and on what physical computers the VM may be used. There may be similar restrictions related to a general ability to modify a VM, such as who may modify the VM. There may also be restrictions related to what modifications may be made to a VM, such as whether the VM may be modified to enable access to various devices or other resources. There may also be restrictions related to how the VM may be used and what may be done with the VM. Information related to the VM and any restrictions placed on the operation of the VM may be encrypted to inhibit a user from circumventing the restrictions.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Matthew David Ginzton, Matthew B.

Patent number: 8914730Abstract: A virtual machine (VM) is accessed by receiving user log-in information, the log-in information identifying a user and a corresponding VM, the VM having a local copy and a remote copy. A selected copy of the VM is identified based on at least one of a policy and a user selection, the selected copy being one of the local copy and the remote copy of the VM. A desktop generated by the selected copy of the VM is presented to the user in a common application graphical user interface, the common application graphical user interface being used regardless as to whether the selected copy of the VM is the local copy or the remote copy.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Yaron Halperin, Jad Chamcham, Christian Matthew Leroy, Gerald I.
