METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO A COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT
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 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 executing a hypervisor providing access to hardware resources required by the identified virtual machine; and
(d) establishing a connection between the client machine and the identified 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, 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.

15. An apparatus, in a system providing access to a computing environment by a broker machine to a client machine, an execution machine 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 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. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
