| 20090144515 | METHOD AND SYSTEM THEREOF FOR RESTORING VIRTUAL DESKTOPS - A method and system thereof for restoring a virtual desktop. The method comprising generating a try-snapshot upon selection of a restore point of the virtual desktop, wherein the try-snapshot is an empty file; linking the try-snapshot subsequently to a snapshot of the restore point without modifying snapshots created after the snapshot of the restore point; and using the try-snapshot as an active snapshot upon affirmation of said restore point. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20100223309 | MANAGING VIRTUAL MACHINES BY MEANS OF HIERARCHICAL LABELING - A host controller maintains a hierarchy of labels representing distinct virtual machine parameters, allows a user to specify labels for virtual machines hosted by one or more servers coupled to the host controller, and stores the specified labels in association with respective virtual machines in a database that reflects relationships between the labels according to the hierarchy. The host controller then facilitates management of the virtual machines using the labels. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100332643 | Pre-Scheduling the Timelines of Virtual Machines - A host controller pre-schedules the timelines of virtual machines that run on a host cluster. In one embodiment, the host controller uses a plurality of timers to determine the start times of the virtual machines. The host controller starts the virtual machines on the host cluster over a time span according to the configurable timelines recorded in the timers. The start times of the virtual machines can be spread over the time span to prevent a load spike at any particular time instance. The virtual machines are up and running on the hosts by a pre-determined time to provide virtual desktops to remote clients. The timers may be configured as a calendar. | 12-30-2010 |
| 20110055824 | AUTOMATIC REMOTE INSTALLATION OF A VIRTUALIZATION HOST - Techniques for automatic remote installation of a virtualization host are described herein. A logical network is configured at a management server to be associated with a network interface card (NIC) of a remote host, where the logical network is identified by a network identifier. The management server installs a software bridge within the remote host, where the software bridge is associated with a bridge identifier that is identical to the network identifier. The software bridge is configured to allow a plurality of virtual machines (VMs) hosted by the remote host to access the logical network via the NIC of the remote host. | 03-03-2011 |
