METHODS FOR INTERFACING WITH A VIRTUALIZED COMPUTING SERVICE OVER A NETWORK USING A LIGHTWEIGHT CLIENT

摘要

The way to control virtualized computer services remotely through the client involves receiving a connection request from the client to control the virtual services available in the virtual machine. The request includes a number of connection parameters describing the client ' s connection request and is received in the virtual machine mounted with the image processor algorithm. The connection parameters are queried using an image processor algorithm to identify the specific virtual machine that provides the requested virtualized computer service. Frame buffer data for the identified virtual machine located in virtual memory is accessed and read directly through the hypervisor. The frame buffer data is processed into a plurality of image data packets using an image processor algorithm and transmitted to the client for presentation on a display device associated with the client. The image data packet grammar is tailored for the client and represents an image of a virtual machine display for a particular virtual machine.;
