Abstract

Provided is a virtual desktop service, and disclosed is a system for providing a server virtual machine, including: a client configured to receive allocation of a virtual machine for using a virtual desktop service; a connection broker configured to control a type of virtual machine to be allocated to be classified according to user terminal registration information of the client, any one operation server to be selected among a plurality of operation servers, and the virtual machine to be allocated; the plurality of operation servers configured to provide the client with a virtual machine under a control of the connection broker; and a shared storage configured to store data related to the client for providing the virtual machine, and provide the stored data to the operation servers, a method of providing a server virtual machine, and a server device supporting the same.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for providing a virtual machine, comprising:
a client device configured to receive allocation of a virtual machine for using a virtual desktop service; and
a connection management server, including a hardware processor, configured to select a virtual machine of one of a plurality of operation servers and to allocate the selected virtual machine to the client device according to registration information of the client device;
wherein the connection management server is configured to identify a type of the client device from the registration information, and to support a secure access of the client device according to the identified type of the client device,
wherein the type of the client device includes an allocated user, a pooled user, and a multi-virtual machine user,
wherein the connection management server is configured to provide a previously allocated virtual machine to the allocated user,
wherein the connection management server is configured to temporarily provide a virtual machine belonging to a virtual machine pool to the pooled user,
wherein the connection management server is configured to delete a virtual machine used by the client device when the client device identified as the pooled user is logged off, and to allocate a new virtual machine to the client device when the client device accesses the connection management server again, and
wherein the connection management server is configured to provide multiple virtual machines to the multi-virtual machine user.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the connection management server selects one of the operation servers having a better server power measurement value or a better server ability amount than the others of the operation servers.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one operation server controls an OS image and a user disk image related to the client device to be pre-generated and stored in order to provide the virtual machine.

4. The system of claim 1 , further comprising
a shared storage configured to store data related to the client device for providing the virtual machine, and to provide the stored data to the plurality of operation servers.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the shared storage pre-stores an OS image and a user disk image for the provision of the virtual machine.

6. A method of providing a server virtual machine at a connection management server, the method comprising:
sending access information to a client;
identifying a type of the client from registration information of the client;
selecting a virtual machine of one of a plurality of operation servers;
allocating the selected virtual machine to the client according to the registration information of the client, and
supporting a secure access of the client according to the identified type of the client,
wherein the type of the client includes an allocated user, a pooled user, and a multi-virtual machine user,
wherein the connection management server provides a previously allocated virtual machine to the allocated user,
wherein the connection management server temporarily provides a virtual machine belonging to a virtual machine pool to the pooled user,
wherein the connection management server deletes a virtual machine used by the client when the client identified as the pooled user is logged off, and allocates a new virtual machine to the client when the client accesses the connection management server again, and
wherein the connection management server provides multiple virtual machines to the multi-virtual machine user.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising:
generating an OS image and a user disk image related to the client before the allocating of the virtual machine; and
storing the OS image and the user disk image in a shared storage.

8. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing program instructions, execution of which by a processor of a connection management server causes the connection management server to provide a virtual machine, the program instructions comprising:
instructions to send access information to a client and to identify a type of the client from registration information of the client;
instructions to select a virtual machine of one of a plurality of operation servers, and to allocate the virtual machine according to the registration information of the client, and
instructions to support a secure access of the client according to the identified type of the client,
wherein the type of the client includes an allocated user, a pooled user, and a multi-virtual machine user,
wherein the instructions to support the secure access include instructions
to provide a previously allocated virtual machine to the allocated user,
to temporarily provide a virtual machine belonging to a virtual machine pool to the pooled user,
to delete a virtual machine used by the client when the client identified as the pooled user is logged off, and to allocate a new virtual machine to the client when the client accesses the connection management server again, and
to provide multiple virtual machines to the multi-virtual machine user.
