## Abstract

A remote computer monitors virtual machines in cloud servers of a data center. The remote computer obtains parameters of each virtual machine authorized to a user by a monitoring program when a user logs in a login interface in a client computer. The remote computer calculates a resource coefficient of each virtual machine according to the parameters of the virtual machine authorized to the user. The remote computer displays an icon corresponding to each virtual machine in the login interface according to the resource coefficient of each virtual machine.
