Abstract

A system and method for ensuring the availability of virtual desktops in a cloud based system. The system includes a primary regional datacenter having a primary desktop pool accessible by a desktop client providing access to a desktop to a desktop user. A secondary regional datacenter includes a secondary desktop pool. A control plane orchestrates communication between the desktop client and the regional datacenters. The control plane creates a copy of the desktop from the primary regional datacenter. The control plane performs an activation procedure when a disaster event occurs. The activation procedure includes creating the desktop in the secondary desktop pool from the copy. The activation procedure also directs the desktop client to the secondary desktop pool to access the desktop from the secondary regional datacenter. A deactivation procedure directs the desktop client in the secondary desktop pool to reestablish availability to desktops in the primary desktop pool.

Claims34

Dependent claims

A virtual desktop system comprising:

a primary regional datacenter including a first fabric region having a primary desktop pool providing access to a desktop to a desktop user of a desktop client;
a secondary regional datacenter including a second fabric region having a secondary desktop pool;
and
a control plane including configurations and definitions required by a regional data center to manage the desktop, the configurations and definitions including configurations and definitions for a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage, wherein the first fabric region is created within the primary regional data center by applying the configurations and definitions required to manage the desktop from the control plane, the first fabric region including a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage within the primary regional datacenter in accordance with the applied configurations and definitions;
and wherein the second fabric region is created within the secondary regional datacenter by applying the configurations and definitions for a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage from the control plane, the expansion fabric region including a virtual network clusters of gateways, and data storage within the secondary regional datacenter in accordance with the applied configurations and definitions, wherein the control plane orchestrates communication between the desktop client and the primary and secondary regional datacenters, the control plane operable to create the desktop from the primary regional datacenter and perform an activation procedure when a disaster event occurs, the activation procedure including:
creating the desktop in the secondary desktop pool;
and
directing the desktop client to the secondary desktop pool to access the desktop from the secondary regional datacenter.

5 more elements

A method for ensuring service for virtual desktops supported by a regional datacenter and a secondary datacenter orchestrated by a control plane to allow a desktop client agent to access a desktop from a primary desktop pool of the regional datacenter, wherein the control plane includes configurations and definitions required by the regional datacenter and the secondary datacenter to manage the desktop, the configurations and definitions including configurations and definitions for a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage, wherein a first fabric region is created within the primary regional datacenter by applying the configurations and definitions required to manage the desktop from the control plane, the first fabric region including a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage within the first regional datacenter in accordance with the applied configurations and definitions;

and wherein a second fabric region is created within the secondary regional datacenter by applying the configurations and definitions for a virtual network, clusters of gateways, and data storage from the control plane, the expansion fabric region including a virtual network clusters of gateways, and data storage within the secondary regional datacenter in accordance with the applied configurations and definitions, the method comprising:
creating a copy of the desktop from the primary desktop pool via the control plane;
accepting an activation via the control plane when a disaster event occurs;
creating the desktop in a secondary desktop pool of the secondary datacenter from the copy;
and
directing the desktop client to the secondary desktop pool to access the desktop from the secondary regional datacenter.
