Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and an application manager computing device that assists with provisioning applications based on user anticipated workloads includes obtaining, a user anticipated resource based on information within a user workload database, prior to receiving a request from a client computing device. The obtained user anticipated resource is provisioned. The provisioned user anticipated resource is provided upon establishing a session with the requesting client computing device.

Claims

1. A method for provisioning applications based on anticipated user work load, the method implemented by a network traffic management system comprising one or more network traffic apparatuses, client devices, or server devices and the method comprising:

obtaining a user anticipated resource based on information within a database, prior to receiving a request from a client;

provisioning the obtained user anticipated resource;

determining whether the provisioned user anticipated resource is requested by the requesting client;

providing the provisioned user anticipated resource upon establishing a session with the requesting client when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined to be requested by the requesting client;

wherein when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined not to be requested by the requesting client, the determining further comprises;

receiving a new request for a new resource from the requesting client;

obtaining the new resource in response to receiving the new request from the requesting client; and

providing the obtained new resource to the requesting client.

2. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising:

receiving a request to establish the session along with a user credentials from the requesting client;

determining when the received user credentials are valid; and

establishing the session when the received user credentials are determined to be valid.

3. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising:

monitoring, the established session with the requesting client for one or more events; and

storing the one or more events in the database while monitoring.

4. The method as set forth in claim 2 wherein the determining further comprises rejecting the request to establish the session when the received user credentials are determined not to be valid.

5. The method as set forth in claim 1 further comprising

monitoring the session upon providing the obtained new resource for one or more new events;

and

storing the one or more new events in the database while monitoring.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for provisioning applications based on anticipated user work load comprising machine executable code which when executed by at least one processor, causes the processor to:

obtain a user anticipated resource based on information within a database, prior to receiving a request from a client;

provision the obtained user anticipated resource;

determine whether the provisioned user anticipated resource is requested by the requesting client computing device;

provide the provisioned user anticipated resource upon establishing a session with the requesting client when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined to be requested by the requesting client;

wherein when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined not to be requested by the requesting client, the determining further comprises;

receiving a new request for a new resource from the requesting client;

obtaining the new resource in response to receiving the new request from the requesting client; and

providing the obtained new resource to the requesting client.

7. The medium as set forth in claim 6 further comprising:

receive a request to establish the session along with a user credentials from the requesting client;

determine when the received user credentials are valid; and

establish the session when the received user credentials are determined to be valid.

8. The medium as set forth in claim 6 further comprising:

monitor the established session with the requesting client for one or more events; and

store the one or more events in the database while monitoring.

9. The medium as set forth in claim 7 wherein the determining further comprises reject the request to establish the session when the received user credentials are determined not to be valid.

10. The medium as set forth in claim 6 further comprising

monitor the session upon providing the obtained new resource for one or more new events;

and

store the one or more new events in the database while monitoring.

11. An application manager apparatus, comprising memory comprising programmed instructions stored in the memory and one or more processors configured to be capable of executing the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:

obtain a user anticipated resource based on information within a database, prior to receiving a request from a client;

provision the obtained user anticipated resource;

determine whether the provisioned user anticipated resource is requested by the requesting client;

provide the provisioned user anticipated resource upon establishing a session with the requesting client when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined to be requested by the requesting client;

wherein the determining when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined not to be requested by the requesting client further comprises;

receiving a new request for a new resource from the requesting client when the provisioned user anticipated resource is determined not to be requested by the requesting client;

obtaining the new resource in response to receiving the new request from the requesting client; and

providing the obtained new resource to the requesting client.

12. The device as set forth in claim 11 wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:

receive a request to establish the session along with a user credentials from the requesting client;

determine when the received user credentials are valid; and

establish the session when the received user credentials are determined to be valid.

13. The device as set forth in claim 11 wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:

monitor the established session with the requesting client for one or more events; and

store the one or more events in the database while monitoring.

14. The device as set forth in claim 12 wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the programmed instructions stored in the memory wherein the determining further comprises reject the request to establish the session when the received user credentials are determined not to be valid.

15. The device as set forth in claim 11 wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the programmed instructions stored in the memory to:

monitor the session upon providing the obtained new resource for one or more new events; and

store the one or more new events in the user workload database while monitoring.
