Locally operated desktop environment for a remote computing system
First Claim
1. A desktop user interface embedded in a computer readable storage medium, executable by a client computer, for allowing a user to operate a remote grid enabled server in a grid enabled system via a network connection, said desktop user interface comprising:
- a database graphic user interface for the client computer that is configured for accessing databases located on a user-specified server and any remote databases accessible to the user;
a resource manager for the client computer, including a resource interface being configured to enable the user to access available computing resources on the grid enabled system and any remote computer or cluster of computers;
a file manager for the client computer, the file manager being configured to enable the user to manage files on the remote grid enabled server and transparently move files from the remote grid enabled server to the client; and
a software linking interface for the client computer, the software linking interface being configured to provide authoring tools for specific areas of work residing on the remote grid enabled server, wherein the software linking interface is configured to enable data transfer between applications and filter data passed between the applications,wherein the client computer is configured to remotely communicate with the remote grid enabled server via the network connection and wherein the remote grid enable server is enabled to access the grid enabled system.

Abstract
A system and method is provided for a remote desktop environment for a grid enabled system. The system can include a grid enabled server capable of being connected into a grid network. A client computer can be in communication with the grid enabled server. A user desktop environment can be provided for the client computer, and the user desktop environment can securely connect to the grid enabled server, a grid computing network, and map to client computer operating system resources. In addition, a file manager can be in communication with the user desktop environment. The file manager may be configured to allow users to own and directly access user accounts and directories on the grid enabled server.
