Viewing and editing operations on a file having an unsupported file type are enabled through a method of opening the file through a remoting session. The method includes the steps of receiving login information from a user and determining if there is a recent open file request. In response to determining there is a recent open file request, the method includes the step of determining whether the file is synchronized. If the file is synchronized, the method includes the steps of launching an application within which the file can be opened, and opening the file within the application.

Opening unsupported file types through remoting sessions

Disclosed is an improved approach to implement a management environment for the storage infrastructure of a virtualization system. The invention provides the ability at a granular basis to allow a user/administrator to configure and control the service levels for virtualization objects in a virtualization system, particularly for storage-related components.

Architecture for implementing service level management for a virtualization environment

Viewing and editing operations on a file having an unsupported file type are enabled through a method of opening the file through a remoting session. The method includes the steps of issuing a request to open the file and metadata of the file, programmatically transmitting credentials of the user to a connection server to log the user into a virtual machine, and establishing a remoting session with the virtual machine to access the file for viewing and editing, the virtual machine opening the file based on the request to open the file and the metadata of the file.

User interface virtualization describes a technique for providing a user with access to one computing device from another computing device, while translating the ergonomics of one computer's user interface style into the ergonomics of the other's. An agent running on a remote desktop collaborates with a corresponding client running on a client machine that accepts a 'touch and swipe' style input. The agent and client exchange user interface metadata and user interface input events and translate the exchanged information to provide native graphical user interface elements (at the client machine) and simulated user actions (at the remote desktop). The agent running on the remote desktop may use an interface interaction API or library to programmatically manipulate the user interface of the remote desktop responsive and act as a proxy for the corresponding client.
