System and method to support subscription based Infrastructure and software as a service
First Claim
1. A mini-cloud system to transform computing infrastructure or software as a service comprising:
- a) mini-cloud device with an hypervisor that can host one or more guest virtual machine,b) at least one computer terminal connected to said mini-cloud system,c) a subscription management component that allows user to provision at least one guest Virtual machine and add that to user'"'"'s subscription plan,d) A brokering step to connect said computer terminal to said guest Virtual Machine.

Abstract
A mini-cloud system has been described to enable subscription or service model for computing infrastructure, software and Digital content. The mini-cloud system work as a pipe line for information delivery connecting end user, infrastructure provider, content provider, and retailer offering automatic provisioning of infrastructure, content lifecycle management, automatic upgrade, servicing, license managements based on subscription model. Mini-cloud system uses a subscription management component, virtualization host to back computing environment, then add routing component to connect to backend cloud infrastructure along with a digital content delivery framework. The system allow a user to subscribe a computing environment, preferred software applications, and digital content like move and pay a monthly utility bill.
