14. An apparatus comprising:
-
a hypervisor on a local platform; a virtual machine builder on the local platform, the virtual machine builder to; determine a list of files to form a virtual machine; determining local files available on the local platform for forming the virtual machine; compare the list of files to form the virtual machine to the local files available on the local platform for forming the virtual machine to identify remote files to be downloaded from a remote server across a wide area network; downloading the remote files across the wide area network; copying the local files available on the local platform for forming the virtual machine; and construct the virtual machine using the downloaded remote files and the copied local files. - View Dependent Claims (15)
