Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for management of processor thread used in support of workspaces operating on an IHS (Information Handling System), where the workspaces operate in isolation from the operating system of the IHS. A remote workspace orchestration service manages deployment of workspaces on the IHS. The workspaces are instantiated and operate according to a workspace definition provided by the workspace orchestration service. A remote access controller of the IHS determine one or more processor threads of the IHS used in support of the workspaces. The remote access controller monitors memory utilization by the processor threads used in support of the workspaces in order to detect memory thrashing resulting from the operation of a particular workspace. Based on the monitored memory utilization, the processor threads used in support of the workspaces are modified in order to reduce memory thrashing during the operation of the workspaces.

Abstract: Systems and methods support workspaces operating on an Information Handling System (IHS), where the workspaces utilize virtualization to operate in isolation from a portion of the hardware and software of the IHS. Resources of the IHS that are available for use by workspaces are registered with an orchestration service that is remote from the IHS and that manages deployment of workspaces on the IHS. A workspace is instantiated on the IHS according to a workspace definition provided by the orchestration service. The orchestration service also provides a handle that allows the workspace to access a particular resource of the IHS, where the handle includes an interface supported by an embedded controller of the IHS for providing access to the IHS resource. The workspace invokes the IHS resource using an interface provided in the handle. The handle thus provides a communication mechanism for workspaces to utilize local resources of the IHS.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for consolidation of IHS (Information Handling System) authentication resources utilized by workspaces operating on the IHS, where the workspaces operate in isolation from the operating system of the IHS. A remote workspace orchestration service manages deployment of workspaces on the IHS. The workspaces are instantiated and operate according to a workspace definition provided by the workspace orchestration service. An embedded controller of the IHS registers authentication functions of the IHS with the workspace orchestration service, which notifies the workspaces of the consolidated authentication functions. An authentication agent is instantiated that supports operating system authentications for applications operating within the workspaces. The respective workspace definitions of the workspaces are updated to route credential requests to the authentication agent.

Abstract: Performance of a computing device can be optimized in a mixed workload environment. A management service can be configured to capture telemetry data from web applications or containerized applications and use such telemetry data to detect a scenario. Based on the detected scenario, the management service can select optimized performance settings and cause the optimized performance settings to be applied within the browser or container in which the application is deployed. Machine learning techniques can be employed to detect and define optimized performance settings for a particular scenario.

Abstract: Peripherals can be managed in a containerized environment. A peripheral can be virtualized in multiple containers to allow applications hosted in the containers to access the peripheral. Local applications may also be allowed to access the peripheral. Such access may be enabled by virtualizing handles to the peripheral. The applications' access to the peripheral may be managed in accordance with policy to thereby ensure that one application's access does not negatively impact another application's access.
