Abstract:
A method can include monitoring a proportion of a particular type of information handling system resource used by a particular virtual machine of a plurality of virtual machines. The particular virtual machine can be accessible to a thin client information handling system via a communications broker. The method can include sending first data to the communications broker, the first data indicating the proportion of the particular type of information handling system resource used by the particular virtual machine, and receiving second data from the communications broker. The second data can indicate that a greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource is to be allocated to the particular virtual machine. The method can include automatically allocating the greater or lesser amount of the particular type of information handling system resource to the particular virtual machine in response to the second data.
Abstract:
A method for providing a desktop environment solution is provided. The method may include providing a client information handling system and authenticating the client to a network. Furthermore, a hardware configuration of the client may be dynamically examined, and an appropriate desktop environment solution may be selected based on the hardware configuration.
Abstract:
A method for reducing power consumption in a mirrored disk array including first disk resources mirrored with second disk resources is provided. A write request to write particular data to the mirrored disk array is received. In response to receiving the write request, the first disk resources are spun to write the particular data to the first disk resources, and the particular data is stored to a cache memory without spinning the second disk resources. Subsequent to storing the particular data to the first disk resources and storing the particular data to the cache memory, the second disk resources are spun to write the particular data from the cache memory to the second disk resources.
Abstract:
A device includes an estimation module, a ratio module, and a recommendation module. The estimation module is adapted to receive a first performance level and a first power consumption level associated with a current server, and adapted to estimate a second performance level and a second power consumption level associated with a first target server based on the first performance level and the first power consumption level. The ratio module is adapted to determine a first performance ratio between the first performance level and the second performance level, and adapted to determine a first power consumption ratio between the first power consumption level and the second power consumption level. The recommendation module is adapted to determine whether to suggest a migration from the current server to the first target server based on the first performance ratio and the first power consumption ratio and adapted to output a first migration determination.
Abstract:
A snoop filter optimization system includes one or more subsystems to operate a snoop filter, determine information that that affects operation of the snoop filter, and adjust operation of the snoop filter relative to the information that affects operation of the snoop filter.

Abstract:
A system includes a plurality of virtualization servers and a virtual desktop interface. The plurality of virtualization servers are configured to be placed in communication with a client. The virtual desktop interface is in communication with the plurality of virtualization servers and with the client. The virtual desktop interface is configured to receive a request for maintenance from the client, and further configured to perform the request for the maintenance on one of the virtualization servers associated with the client.
Abstract:
A method for managing virtual machines in an information handling system (IHS) is disclosed. The method may include receiving a characteristic of a first virtual machine from a connection broker and hosting the first virtual machine on a virtualization server. The method may further include determining availability of more than one virtual machine and if more than one virtual machine is available, hosting a second virtual machine having the characteristic of the first virtual machine.
