Abstract: In some embodiments, a method for cluster resource scheduling, includes determining at least one load score; determining a memory score; determining an IO score; and monitoring a message bus for candidate messages when each of the at least one load score, memory score, and IO score is less than a pre-determined health threshold. In some embodiments, a host computer system for hosting a plurality of virtual machines (VMs), includes: a memory; a network adapter for communicating with the cluster by way of a message bus; a processor in electronic communication with the memory and the network adapter, wherein the processor is programmed to: determine at least one load score; determine a memory score; determine an IO score; and monitor the message bus for candidate messages when each of the at least one load score, memory score, and IO score is less than a pre-determined health threshold.

Abstract: A method for providing virtual desktop services includes receiving a request for a session from a user; instantiating a virtual machine for the session; copying user data for the user from a data backup to a user volume attached to the virtual machine; and creating a delta disk associated with the user volume, wherein the delta disk records changes to the user data during the session. A system for providing virtual desktop services, includes a shared storage device having user data stored thereon; a host server configured to run one or more virtual machines, the host server having a local storage device; virtual machine having a user volume with a copy of the user data and a delta disk having changed user data.
