Thin client system, management server, workplace environment setting method and workplace environment setting program

A management server which manages setting of a plurality of virtual desktop environment servers each including a virtual desktop environment in which a workplace environment is generated in a virtual machine and setting of said virtual desktop environment, comprising:

• at least one memory operable to store program instructions;
• at least one processor operable to read the stored program instructions;
• and
• according to the stored program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to be operated as:
• an OS sorting unit which when data connection of the virtual desktop environment is changed, generates information of an OS sorting result obtained by sorting said virtual desktop environment servers in an order of failing to have a virtual machine whose OS is other than OS of a virtual machine related to the change of the data connection and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection;
• a virtual machine (VM) creating unit which determines said virtual desktop environment server in which said virtual machine is to be created based on said OS sorting result information by giving preference to said virtual desktop environment server failing to have a virtual machine whose OS is different from the OS of a virtual machine to be newly created and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection;
• and
• a VDS (Virtual Desktop Server) removal unit which removes the virtual desktop environment server relevant to a predetermined removal option from the information of said OS sorting result.

A thin client system comprising:

• a plurality of virtual desktop environment servers each including a virtual desktop environment in which a workplace environment is generated in a virtual machine;
• and
• a management server which manages setting of said virtual desktop environment and said virtual desktop environment server, wherein said management server comprises:
• at least one memory operable to store program instructions;
• at least one processor operable to read the stored program instructions;
• and
• according to the stored program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to be operated as:
• an OS sorting unit which, when data connection of the virtual desktop environment is changed, generates information of an OS sorting result obtained by sorting said virtual desktop environment servers in an order of failing to have a virtual machine whose OS is other than OS of a virtual machine related to the change of the data connection and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection,
• a virtual machine (VM) creating unit which determines said virtual desktop environment server in which said virtual machine is to be created based on said OS sorting result information by giving preference to said virtual desktop environment server failing to have a virtual machine whose OS is different from the OS of a virtual machine to be newly created and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection, and
• a VDS (Virtual Desktop Server) removal unit which removes the virtual desktop environment server relevant to a predetermined removal option from the information of said OS sorting result.

A thin client system comprising:

• a plurality of virtual desktop environment servers each including a virtual desktop environment in which a workplace environment is generated in a virtual machine;
• and
• a management server which manages setting of said virtual desktop environment and said virtual desktop environment server,
• wherein said management server comprises:
• at least one memory operable to store program instructions;
• at least one processor operable to read the stored program instructions;
• and according to the stored program instructions, the at least one processor is configured to be operated as:
• a Group sorting unit which when terminal connection of the virtual desktop environment is changed, generates information of a Group sorting result obtained by sorting said virtual desktop environment servers in an order of having the same workplace environment as a workplace environment of a virtual machine related to the change of the terminal connection and having a smaller number of other workplace environments than the workplace environment of the virtual machine related to the change of the terminal connection,
• a virtual machine (VM) creating unit which determines said virtual desktop environment server in which said virtual machine is to be created based on said Group sorting result information by giving preference to said virtual desktop environment server having the same workplace environment as a workplace environment of a virtual machine related to the change of the terminal connection and having a smaller number of other workplace environments than the workplace environment of the virtual machine related to the change of the terminal connection,
• a VDS (Virtual Desktop Server) removal unit which removes the virtual desktop environment server relevant to a predetermined removal option from the information of said Group sorting result,
• a network (NW) ensuring unit which generates information of sorting of said virtual desktop environment servers in the order of having the same workplace environment and having a smaller number of other workplace environments based on the information generated by said VDS removal unit, and
• a relocation destination selection unit which preferentially selects said virtual desktop environment server in which said virtual desktop environment is to relocate in the order of having the same workplace environment and having a smaller number of other workplace environments based on the information generated by said NW ensuring unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a workplace environment setting program operable on a computer forming a management server which manages setting of a plurality of virtual desktop environment servers each including a virtual desktop environment in which a workplace environment is generated in a virtual machine and setting of said virtual desktop environment, wherein said workplace environment setting program causes said computer to execute:

• an OS sorting unit which, when data connection of the virtual desktop environment is changed, generates information of an OS sorting result obtained by sorting said virtual desktop environment servers in an order of failing to have a virtual machine whose OS is other than OS of a virtual machine related to the change of the data connection and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection;
• a virtual machine (VM) creating unit to execute VM creating processing of determining said virtual desktop environment server in which said virtual machine is to be created based on said OS sorting result information by giving preference to said virtual desktop environment server failing to have the virtual machine whose OS is different from the OS of a virtual machine to be newly created and failing to have a template of OS other than OS of the virtual machine related to the change of the data connection;
• and
• a VDS (Virtual Desktop Server) removal unit which removes the virtual desktop environment server relevant to a predetermined removal option from the information of said OS sorting result.
