System and method for streaming application isolation
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a host server with one or more memory locations configured to store one or more isolated environments and one or more host server update-caches, wherein the isolated environments comprise at least one or more applications, and files and executables for said one or more applications;
one or more clients comprising one or more memory locations configured to store one or more isolated environments, an update-cache for each isolated environment, and a client operating system, wherein said one or more isolated environments comprise at least one or more applications, and files and executables for said one or more applications; and
a client policy manager configured to perform one or more of store client credentials for the one or more clients, authenticate the one or more clients, and enumerate available isolated environments for the one or more clients;
one or more data communication links between the one or more clients and the host server;
wherein one or more of said isolated environments on the host server are streamed to the one or more clients over the one or more data communication links, and said one or more host server update-caches are configured to identify which files in said streamed isolated environments have changed since last being streamed to said one or more clients.

Abstract
Providing streaming of one or more applications from streaming servers onto one or more clients. The computer readable medium includes computer-executable instructions for execution by a processing system. The applications are contained within one or more isolated environments, and the isolated environments are streamed from the servers onto clients. The system may include authentication of the streaming servers and authentication of clients and credentialing of the isolated environments and applications the clients are configured to run. The system may include encrypted communication between the streaming servers and the clients. The system may further include a management interface where administrators may add, remove and configure isolated environments, configure client policies and credentials, and force upgrades. The streamed isolated environments may be isolated from other applications and the host operating system on the clients and applications within the isolated environments may run without performing an application-installation on the client.
