1. A method for managing a cloud-based virtual machine, the method comprising:
- providing one or more selections corresponding to one or more backups of a computing device via a user interface to an end user;
receiving a selection of at least one of the one or more backups;
receiving configuration details for the computing device, the configuration details comprising computing resources that are to be dedicated to a cloud-based virtual office that corresponds to the computing device;
virtualizing the backup within a cloud computing environment using a virtualization program to create the cloud-based virtual office having the configuration details;
providing access to the cloud-based virtual office to a remote user; and
receiving network settings for the cloud-based virtual office via a user interface that allows an end user to any of;
enable VPN access to the cloud-based virtual office, enable port forwarding for the cloud-based virtual office, enable inbound/outbound connections for the cloud-based virtual office, enable DHCP for the cloud-based virtual office, and combinations thereof.

Abstract
Cloud-based virtual machines and offices are provided herein. Methods may include establishing a cloud-based virtual office, by providing selections, corresponding to backups of servers of a computing network, to a user interface, establishing a cloud gateway for the virtual office, virtualizing a backup for each server using a virtualization program to create the cloud-based virtual office that includes virtual server machines networked with one another via the cloud gateway, and providing a workload to the cloud-based virtual office.

18. A method for establishing a cloud-based virtual office, the method comprising:
-
providing selections, corresponding to backups of servers of a computing network, to a user interface; establishing a cloud gateway for the cloud-based virtual office; virtualizing a backup for each selected server using a virtualization program to create the cloud-based virtual office that includes virtual server machines networked with one another via the cloud gateway, wherein each virtual server machine has dedicated computing resources that comprise at least a selection of CPU core settings for a virtual machine; providing a workload to the cloud-based virtual office; and receiving network settings for the cloud-based virtual office via a user interface that allows an end user to any of; enable VPN access to the cloud-based virtual office, enable port forwarding for the cloud-based virtual office, enable inbound/outbound connections for the cloud-based virtual office, enable DHCP for the cloud-based virtual office, and combinations thereof.

19. A cloud-based virtual office executing within a computing environment, the cloud-based virtual office comprising virtual server machines that correspond to servers of a physical network, each of the virtual server machines being virtualized by a virtualization program from a backup of a physical server, the backup of the physical server being stored within memory of the computing environment, the virtualization program being executed by a processor of the computing environment upon an occurrence of a failover event, the processor further establishing a cloud gateway that networks the virtual server machines together, wherein each of the virtual server machines has dedicated computing resources that comprise at least a selection of CPU core settings for the virtual server machines;
- and
a user interface that receives network settings for the cloud-based virtual office that allows an end user to any of; enable VPN access to the cloud-based virtual office, enable port forwarding for the cloud-based virtual office, enable inbound/outbound connections for the cloud-based virtual office, enable DHCP for the cloud-based virtual office, and combinations thereof. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
