A cloud-based system is described for producing application deltas based on application recipes that identify components of the application deltas using unique identifiers, without the recipe containing all or any content of the actual application. The application recipe can be conveyed to an organization operating on an enterprise network, where the application recipe can be matched with application files in the organization's backup storage containing copies of content of endpoint devices on the network to retrieve components identified by the recipe and produce the application delta for the application. Subsequently, the application delta can be used as an installation package to perform IT operations such as installing the application on endpoint devices.

Application management in enterprise environments using cloud-based application recipes

A method and system for workload migration across a hybrid network is provided. The method and system are directed to migrating a workload to a cloud by transferring the workload computing processes to the cloud, streaming workload data as necessary to execute the workload processes in the cloud, transferring the remaining workload data in a background process to cloud storage, and then completing migration by switching the primary data source of the workload computing processes to the cloud storage. In another aspect, a method and system are directed to migrating on-premises storage associated with a virtual machine to the cloud to be stored and executed in association with containerized applications. Additionally, techniques for full detach and partial detach of containerized applications are provided.

Workload migration across a hybrid network

A system for a mass centralization approach to full image cloning of multiple computing devices is provided. The system includes a server, and a computing device that includes a disk for data storage, wherein the disk includes a plurality of blocks within a plurality of regions. The system also includes a processor programmed to map each file stored on the disk to at least one of the plurality of blocks, for one or more of the plurality of regions of the disk, determine that a number of files appearing in sequential blocks exceeds a predefined threshold number of files, perform a continuous scan of the one or more of the plurality of regions of the disk occupied by the number of files appearing in sequential blocks exceeding the predefined threshold number of files, and send a copy of the files scanned from the one or more plurality of regions of the disk to the server.

Rapid cloud-based image centralization

Techniques disclosed herein provide an approach for distributed self-served application remoting. In one embodiment, a user's own computing device, on which a remoted application runs, transmits user interface updates to a destination device which displays the updates and communicates back inputs (e.g., keyboard and mouse inputs) made at the destination device. The user may select an application for remoting by moving the application's window outside the boundaries of a desktop. This is similar to moving the application across computer screens in a multi-monitor setup and may create the illusion of a boundless desktop. In another embodiment, the user may remote the application to multiple destination devices using a 'broadcast' mode. In yet another embodiment, the user may remote the application to a virtual machine.

Distributed self-served application remoting

A system for a mass centralization approach to full image cloning of multiple computing devices is provided. The system includes a plurality of computing devices and a server. The server includes a processor programmed to receive, from the plurality of computing devices, metadata for files stored on the plurality of computing devices, determine, from the received metadata, an importance level for each of the files, instruct the plurality of computing devices to send a copy of the files to the server in a defined order, the defined order based on the importance level for each of the files, and store the copy of the files on the server.
