Managing unallocated server farms in a desktop virtualization system

摘要

Methods and systems for managing the allocated and unallocated server farms in a desktop virtualization system are provided herein. A server farm management device may store and maintain one or more unallocated server farm thresholds for the desktop virtualization system. The current number of unallocated server farms may be determined in response to a trigger or according to a predetermined schedule. When the number of unallocated server farms falls below a threshold, one or more new unallocated server farms may be created using the available servers in the desktop virtualization system. Thresholds may relate to overall number of unallocated server farms in the desktop virtualization system, as well as to the numbers of unallocated server farms of certain types or having certain characteristics.
