METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT PROVIDED BY A VIRTUAL MACHINE EXECUTING IN A HYPERVISOR EXECUTING IN A TERMINAL SERVICES SESSION
First Claim
1. A method of providing access to a computing environment, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) 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;
(b) identifying, by a session management component, one of a plurality of virtual machines, the identified virtual machine providing the requested computing environment;
(c) identifying one of a plurality of execution machines, 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;
(d) launching the identified virtual machine by the hypervisor; and
(e) establishing a connection between the client machine and the identified virtual machine, via the terminal services session.

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.

16. An apparatus, in a system providing access to a computing environment by a broker machine to a client machine, an execution machine executing a terminal services session executing a hypervisor providing access to hardware resources required by the computing environment, the apparatus comprising:
-
an identification component in communication with a virtual machine management component and receiving an identification of one of a plurality of virtual machines, the identified virtual machine provided in a hypervisor executing in a terminal services session and providing a requested computing environment;
an execution component provisioning the identified virtual machine; and
a management component establishing a connection between the client machine and the identified virtual machine via the terminal services session and managing the connection. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
