Publication number: 20150309829Abstract: A main operating system interface engine can be configured to receive instructions from a main operating system of one or more host systems and can manage a virtualized operating system on the one or more host systems, the virtualized operating system appearing distinct from the main operating system to a user of the one or more host systems. A virtualization environment management engine can manage a virtualization environment, the virtualization environment using the virtualized operating system. A virtual machine management engine can manage one or more virtual machine instances in the virtualization environment, each of the one or more virtual machine instances operative to provide virtualized resources of the one or more host systems for a compute access system coupled to the one or more host systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2015Publication date: October 29, 2015Applicant: NETKINE, INC.Inventors: Daniel Hiltgen, Patrick Devine, Erik P.

Patent number: 9158550Abstract: An image of system software is installed by loading an executable image of the system software using a boot loader, where the executable image includes a kernel and a plurality of files used by the kernel. The kernel of the system software is executed to generate the image of the system software that includes a copy of the kernel. Generating the image of the system software involves the steps of generating a plurality of pointers that each point to a different one of the files, retrieving the files using the pointers, and storing a copy of the kernel and the files in a storage device from which the system software is to be booted as the image of the system software.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2011Date of Patent: October 13, 2015Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Daniel Kerry Hiltgen, Olivier Alain Cremel, Christopher Patrick Devine
