1. A method for providing a service to a client over a network, comprising:

  • receiving a connection request from the client for controlling a virtualized computer service available on a specific virtual machine, the connection request including a plurality of connection parameters that define connection requirements of the client, the connection request received at a virtual machine that executes an image processor algorithm;

    interrogating the connection parameters using the image processor algorithm to identify the specific virtual machine providing the virtualized computer service that satisfies the request from the client;

    accessing framebuffer data for the specific virtual machine from a predetermined location in virtual memory through a hypervisor, the framebuffer data being read from the predetermined location in virtual memory, the framebuffer data defining graphical output representing an image associated with a virtual machine display of the specific virtual machine;

    processing the framebuffer data into a plurality of image data packets using the image processor algorithm based on the plurality of connection parameters; and

    transmitting the image data packets to the client for presenting on a display device associated with the client, the image data packets being specific for the client and represents the image of the virtual machine display.
