Abstract
A connection analyzer at a server information handling system analyzes virtual desktop requests from client information handling systems to prioritize available virtual desktop display protocols for responding to the requests based upon the client type and network interface.
Claims20
A system for managing virtual desktop display protocol selection, the system comprising:
- plural server information handling systems interfaced with a network and operable to support virtual desktop presentation at client information handling systems with one or more virtual desktop display protocols;
- a connection analyzer interfaced with the network and operable to detect virtual desktop requests from client information handling systems, the connection analyzer analyzing the virtual desktop requests to prioritize a list of virtual desktop display protocols to respond to the requests;
- and
- a virtual desktop initiator interfaced with the connection analyzer and operable to initiate virtual desktops in response to each virtual desktop requests from the plural server information handling systems with a virtual desktop display protocol selected from the prioritized list in order of priority.
A method for selecting a virtual desktop display protocol to present a virtual desktop at a client information handling system from a server information handling system, the method comprising:
- communicating from the client information handling system through a network a request for a virtual desktop presentation;
- receiving at the server information handling system the request for the virtual desktop presentation;
- comparing the request for the virtual desktop presentation with plural virtual desktop display protocols to prioritize a list of the virtual desktop display protocols for responding to the request for the virtual desktop presentation;
- selecting a virtual desktop display protocol based on the prioritized list;
- and
- presenting the virtual desktop at client with the selected virtual desktop display protocol.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing instructions executable on a processor to:
- analyze a request from a client information handling system for a virtual desktop presentation;
- apply the analyzed request to prioritize a list of available virtual desktop display protocols for responding to the request;
- and
- automatically respond to the request by communicating a virtual desktop to the client information handling system with the available virtual desktop display protocol having the greatest priority.
