Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs for creating virtual machines (VM) and associated networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. The method defines virtual network templates in a database, where each virtual network template includes network specifications. A configuration of a virtual system is created, which includes VMs, virtual lab networks associated with virtual network templates, and connections from the VMs to the virtual lab networks. Further, the configuration is deployed in the virtual infrastructure resulting in a deployed configuration. The deployment of the configuration includes instantiating in the virtual infrastructure the VMs of the configuration, instantiating in the virtual infrastructure the virtual lab networks, retrieving information from the database, and creating and executing programming instructions for the VMs. The database information includes the network specifications from the virtual network templates associated with the virtual lab networks, and network resources for the virtual lab networks from a pool of available network resources. The programming instructions are created for the particular Guest Operating System (GOS) running in each VM based on the GOS and on the retrieved database information. When executed in the corresponding VM GOS, the programming instructions configure the VMs network interfaces with the corresponding network specifications.

US Classification:

709222, 718 1

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer programs for creating isolated environments that include virtual machines (VM) and networks in a virtual infrastructure are presented. The method includes an operation to define a configuration of a virtual system which includes VMs, virtual network interface cards (VNIC) in the VMs, and configuration local networks (CLN). Further, the method associates each VNIC with one of the CLNs and transmits instructions to the virtual infrastructure for deploying the configuration. Deploying the configuration includes instantiating VMs and CLNs in the virtual infrastructure. Each VM is instantiated in a host monitored by a virtual lab server, and the CLNs are instantiated in the same hosts where the VMs have been instantiated. Only VMs from the configuration can connect to the instantiated CLNs. The method further transmits instructions to the virtual infrastructure to customize the VMs by executing the customization instructions in the guest operating systems of the VMs to configure the VMs' VNICs.

Abstract:

An application sharing and collaboration (ASC) system comprising a first computer, where the first computer is configured to execute a graphics application. The graphics application is configured to: (a) call a set of OpenGL rendering functions to render an image into a local buffer, and (b) call a particular OpenGL function which has been modified to induce compression of the image from the local buffer and transfer of the compressed image to a set of one or more remote systems. Each of the one or more remote systems may be configured to: decompress the compressed image, and display the decompressed image.

Abstract:

A system and method for performing automatic remediation in a distributed computer system with multiple clusters of host computers uses the same placement selection algorithm for initial placements and for remediation placements of clients. The placement selection algorithm is executed to generate a placement solution when a remediation request in response to a remediation-requiring condition in the distributed computer system for at least one client running in one of the multiple clusters of host computers is detected and a remediation placement problem for the client is constructed. The placement solution is then implemented for the client for remediation
