System and method for dynamic provisioning of cloud desktop pools from multiple public cloud providers

A method for providing access to virtual desktops in a desktop pool to a plurality of users operating client devices, the method comprising:

• collecting constraint data from a plurality of available cloud regions via a desktop pool resource management engine coupled to the available cloud regions, wherein each of the available cloud regions provide virtual desktops to the client devices via desktop agents, gateways, and associated resources;
• collecting operational data from the desktop clients and desktop agents;
• creating a cloud usage profile for at least a subset of the plurality of users based on the collected operational data from the desktop agents and client devices;
• creating a priority list of the plurality of available cloud regions for a user based on the usage profile and the constraint data of the available cloud regions;
• recommending the highest priority cloud region from the priority list for a user of a client device requesting a desktop;
• and
• selecting a cloud region according to the priority list to provide the desktop to the client device.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having machine-readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• collect constraint data from a plurality of available cloud regions via a desktop pool resource management engine coupled to the available cloud regions, wherein each of the available cloud regions provide virtual desktops to client devices through desktop agents, gateways, and associated resources;
• create a cloud usage profile for at least a subset of a plurality of users of the client devices based on the operational data from the desktop agents, gateways, and client devices;
• collect operational data from the desktop clients and desktop agents;
• create a cloud usage profile for at least a subset of the plurality of users;
• create a priority list of the plurality of available cloud regions for a user based on the usage profile and the constraint data of the available cloud regions;
• recommend the highest priority cloud region from the priority list for a user of a client device requesting a desktop;
• and
• select a cloud region according to the priority list to provide the desktop to the client device.
