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;
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 at least one of the one or more backups using a virtualization program to create a cloud-based virtual office having the configuration details;
establishing dynamic host configuration protocol settings for the cloud-based virtual office by receiving one or more domain names and one or more DNS server Internet protocol address associated with the domain names via a DHCP user interface;
applying the dynamic host configuration protocol settings to the cloud-based virtual office; and
providing access to the cloud-based virtual office to a remote user.

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 system for providing a cloud-based virtual office, the cloud-based virtual office executing within the system, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a memory for storing executable instructions, the processor executing the instructions to provide the cloud-based virtual office by; establishing dynamic host configuration protocol settings for the cloud-based virtual office by receiving one or more domain names and one or more DNS server Internet protocol address associated with the domain names via a DHCP user interface; and applying the dynamic host configuration protocol settings to the cloud-based virtual office; and the cloud-based virtual office comprising virtual server machines that correspond to servers of a physical network, each virtual server machine 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 system, the virtualization program being executed by the processor of the system upon an occurrence of a failover event, the processor further establishing a cloud gateway that networks the virtual server machines together. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
