摘要:
The apparent speed of a connection between a browser at a user station and a proxy or gateway on a network such as the Internet is increased by providing a local proxy at the user station which interacts with a remote proxy. While the remote proxy is retrieving a newly requested World Wide Web page, for example, from the appropriate content provider, it may also be sending to the local proxy a stale cached version of that page. When the new version of the page is finally retrieved, the remote proxy determines the differences between the new version and the stale version, and, assuming the differences do not exceed the new page in size, sends the differences to the local proxy which then reconstructs the new page from the differences and the stale version. The local proxy delivers the new page to the browser, which need not even be aware that a local proxy exists; it is aware only that it received the page it requested. Because computational speed and power are frequently higher and cheaper than transmission speed, the apparent speed of the connection between the user station and the network has been increased at modest cost.

摘要:
Approaches for handling network resources in a virtualized computing environment. A first request for network resources is received from a first virtual machine. Policy data is consulted to determine how to service the first request. The first request is processed by providing the first virtual machine with access to only a first portion of network resources. A second request for network resources is received from a second virtual machine. Policy data is consulted to determine how to service the second request. The second request is processed by providing the second virtual machine with access to only a second portion of network resources that is not coextensive with the first portion. In this way, virtual machines may have access to particular resources and/or specific bounded areas of a network.

Approaches for synchronizing history data across a virtualized web browser. When a user instructs a virtualized web browser, executing on a host operating system, to display a web page, a host module executing on the host operating system may instruct a guest module executing within a particular virtual machine to retrieve the web page. The host module may provide to the guest module history data for the virtualized web browser. History data describes browsing history for the virtualized web browser, either in the current instance or for previous instances. The guest module performs operations in accordance with the history data. When the host module receives the screen data content from the guest module, the host module instructs the virtualized web browser to display the web page using the screen data content.

Programmatically adjusting the operational state of one or more virtual machines based on policy. Resource consumption on a hardware device is monitored. A policy that considers at least a present level of resource consumption and an amount of available resources of the hardware device is consulted. An operational state of a particular virtual machine that resides on the hardware device is changed. The change in operational state may be performed to optimize performance of a virtual machine with which a user is interacting, to enforce behavior constraints upon the virtual machine, or to adjust its execution in view of the available resources on the device.

Approaches for composing the display of a virtualized web browser. A virtualized web browser is instructed to display a web page. The virtualized web browser, in turn, instructs one or more virtual machines to retrieve content for at least a portion of the web page. Each of the one or more virtual machines renders the content retrieved thereby. Upon the virtualized web browser obtaining the rendered screen data content from the one or more virtual machines, the virtualized web browser displays the web page using the rendered content.

Approaches for ensuring a document does not inadvertently link or contain to any malicious content. A request from a document embedded within a parent web page itself, or comprised within a window launched by the parent web page, is received. The request is executed in a memory address space separate from a memory address space in which the parent web page resides. The execution of the request is performed using a parent proxy that represents the parent web page. Any malicious actions resulting from the performance of the request affect the parent proxy rather than the parent web page. The parent proxy provides at least a portion of the results of executing the request to a child proxy, which in turn determines what, if any, content within the results should be sent to the web browser rendering the parent web page.

Approaches for transferring a file using a virtualized application. A virtualized application executes within a virtual machine residing on a physical machine. When the virtualized application is instructed to download a file stored external to the physical machine, the virtualized application displays an interface which enables at least a portion of a file system, maintained by a host OS, to be browsed while preventing files stored within the virtual machine to be browsed. Upon the virtualized application receiving input identifying a target location within the file system, the virtualized application stores the file at the target location. The virtualized application may also upload a file stored on the physical machine using an interface which enables at least a portion of a file system of a host OS to be browsed while preventing files in the virtual machine to be browsed.

A method for operating a server first assigns a plurality of storage volumes to one or more storage devices. A plurality of sub-volumes is established within a namespace of each of the plurality of storage volumes. An instance of a virtual server is created, the virtual server having a plurality of assigned sub-volumes, the assigned sub-volumes chosen from different storage volumes of the plurality of storage volumes. A file system function is shared between the server and the instance of the virtual server, the file system function using at least one of the plurality of assigned sub-volumes.
