Method and systems for administering virtual machines to client devices

A system for administering virtual machines to client devices, comprising:

• a primary host computer comprising a first plurality of servers;
• and
• a secondary host computer comprising a second plurality of servers;
• wherein the primary host computer comprises a first storage server having a first nontransitory memory device storing software instructions that, when executed, cause the primary host computer to:
• initiate a primary session stream comprising at least an operating system for a virtual machine utilizing the first plurality of servers in response to a request from a client device;
• wherein the secondary host computer comprises a secondary storage server having a second nontransitory memory device storing software instructions that, when executed, cause the secondary host computer to:
• initiate a secondary session stream comprising an application program for the virtual machine utilizing the second plurality of servers in response to a request from a client device passed to the secondary host computer by the primary host computer;
• and
• wherein the software instructions stored by the first nontransitory memory device, when executed, cause the primary host computer to aggregate the primary session stream and the secondary session stream to form an aggregated session stream by prioritizing display of the secondary session stream over non-complementary information from the primary session stream;
• and
• wherein the software instructions stored by the first nontransitory memory device, when executed, cause the secondary host computer to terminate the secondary session stream in response to a request from the client device passed to the secondary host computer by the primary host computer.
