Abstract: A method for executing, by a virtual machine, an application program requested by a client machine includes the step of receiving a file including access information for accessing a plurality of application files and for executing a first client capable of receiving an application stream. An identification of the plurality of application files is retrieved, responsive to the received file. At least one characteristic required for execution of the plurality of application files is retrieved, responsive to the file. A determination is made as to whether a client machine includes the at least one characteristic. A second client is executed, responsive to a determination that the client machine lacks the at least one characteristic, the second client requesting execution of the plurality of application files on a remote machine comprising a virtual machine providing a computing environment having the at least one characteristic.

Abstract: A method for providing access to a computing environment includes the step of receiving, by a broker machine, a request from a client machine for access to a computing environment, the request including an identification of a user of the client machine. One of a plurality of virtual machines is identified, the identified virtual machine providing the requested computing environment. One of a plurality of execution machines is identified, the identified execution machine executing a hypervisor providing access to hardware resources required by the identified virtual machine. A connection is established between the client machine and the identified virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for making a hypermedium page interactive includes the step of selecting a hyperlink on the hypermedium page displayed on a client machine, the hyperlink identifying a desired computing resource. A hyperlink configuration file is retrieved, the hyperlink configuration file corresponding to the hyperlink and identifying a virtual machine. A client agent is started on the client machine. The client agent creates a communication link to a virtual machine executing on the server identified by the hyperlink configuration file. The client agent receives data from the virtual machine and displays, on the client machine, the received data without intervention by the network browser.

Abstract: A system for granting access to resources includes a client machine, a collection agent, a policy engine, and a broker server. The client machine requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client machine. The policy engine receives the gathered information and assigns one of a plurality of levels of access responsive to application of a policy to the received information. The broker server establishes, responsive to the assigned level of access, a connection between the client machine and a computing environment providing the requested resource, the computing environment provided by a virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for selecting a method of execution for an application includes the step of receiving credentials. A plurality of applications available to a client machine is enumerated responsive to the received credentials. A request to execute an enumerated application is received. One of a predetermined number of methods for executing the requested application is selected responsive to a policy, the predetermined number of methods including a method for executing the requested application in a computing environment provided by a virtual machine.

Abstract: A method for providing access to a computing environment includes the step of receiving, by a broker machine, a request from a client machine for access to a computing environment, the request including an identification of a user of the client machine. One of a plurality of virtual machines is identified by a session management component, the identified virtual machine providing the requested computing environment. One of a plurality of execution machines is identified, the identified execution machine providing a terminal services session in which a hypervisor executes to provide access to hardware resources required by the identified virtual machine. The hypervisor launches the identified virtual machine. A connection is established between the client machine and the identified virtual machine, via the terminal services session.

Abstract: A method for providing remote access to a computer environment provided by a virtual machine includes the step of receiving authentication information associated with a user of a client machine. Based on the received authentication information, a computer environment provided by a virtualized operating system and already associated with the user is identified.

Abstract: A method for providing authorized remote access to a computing environment provided by a virtual machine, includes the step of requesting, by a client machine, access to a resource.

A broker server establishes, responsive to the access control decision, a connection between the client machine and the identified computing environment.

Abstract: In a method for accessing, by application programs, resources provided by an operating system, a process receives a request for a resource and an identifier associated with the resource. It is determined that the requested resource resides inside an application isolation environment. The request for the resource and the identifier associated with the resource is redirected to the application isolation environment. The request for the resource is responded to using an instance of the resource residing inside the application isolation environment.

Abstract: In a method for accessing resources provided by an operating system, a request for a resource is received by an application program executing inside an environment.
