Abstract
In various embodiments, the predicted location of a user within an institutional space is associated with a node at or near that location, and a virtual desktop is prepared before a user has actually logged on and authenticated. Although users are not accorded access to applications and sensitive data until they have properly authenticated themselves, the virtual desktop and associated data are assembled and retrieved in the background in order to eliminate delay following log-on.
Claims16
A method of anticipatory provisioning of resources for mobile users in an institutional space, the method comprising:
- providing a database storing records for a plurality of users, each of the records specifying, for one of the users, data specifying a provisioning policy for the user including at least one location-based triggering event;
- detecting an electronically detected location-based triggering event indicative of departure of a first mobile user from a first network node at which the first mobile user accessed a first virtual desktop;
- in response to the electronically detected location-based triggering event indicative of departure of the first mobile user from the first network node, predicting a second network node, within the institutional space, that the first mobile user is likely to access;
- detecting unsuitability of the second network node for use by the first mobile user;
- predicting a third network node, different from the second network node and within the institutional space, that the first mobile user is likely to access;
- and
- delivering the first virtual desktop to the third network node prior to arrival of the first mobile user at the third network node.
