Abstract: A system and method for providing virtual desktops to client devices of users is disclosed. The system includes available cloud regions that each can provide virtual desktops and associated resources. A desktop pool resource management engine is coupled to the available cloud regions and collects constraint data from the available cloud regions as well as operational data from desktop clients and desktop agents. A cloud usage profile is created for a subset of the users from the operational data. A priority list of available cloud regions for a user in the subset is created based on the usage profile and the constraint data of the available cloud regions. The highest priority cloud region from the priority list is recommended for the user requesting a desktop. A control plane selects the highest priority cloud region according to the priority list to provide the desktop to the client device.

Abstract: A system and method for determining performance of connections between an endpoint device and a Cloud region is disclosed. A Cloud based host server communicates with the endpoint device operated by a user through a network. A data collection module is coupled to the Cloud server and the endpoint device. The data collection module periodically collects connection data associated with the endpoint device and collects context data of the endpoint device. An analysis engine compares a connection data metric derived from the connection data to a baseline value of the connection data metric associated with the context data of the endpoint device and determines substandard performance. The analysis engine provides an alert when a substandard performance is determined.

Abstract: A method includes receiving, by a client, from an identity service provider, an authentication token associated with a user of the client. The method also includes receiving, by the client, from a control plane, an authorization token associated with a cloud resource. The method also includes receiving, by a desktop agent, a password request including the authentication token and the authorization token. The method also includes validating the password request based at least in part on the authentication token and the authorization token. The method also includes responsive to the validating the password request, receiving, by the client, a password for the cloud resource. The method also includes causing the client to transmit the password to the cloud resource to establish a connection between the client and the cloud resource.

Abstract: A virtual desktop system includes one or more virtual desktops and associated public cloud infrastructure. The system further includes a control plane coupled to the public cloud infrastructure. In response to a client device application operated by a user requesting the one or more virtual desktops, the control plane is triggered to obtain information associated with the user and/or information associated with the client device application. The control plane is further triggered to provide the obtained information to the public cloud infrastructure for storage. The public cloud infrastructure is configured to (a) compare usernames and/or IP addresses to the stored information associated with the user and/or the stored information associated with the client device, and (b) permit the user access to the one or more virtual desktops in response to the comparison of the usernames and/or IP addresses matching the stored information.
