Embodiments described herein are related to performing virtual application delivery. In some embodiments, a method includes accessing, at a computing device, a datastore comprising a first virtual disk file mapped to a plurality of virtual disk files separate from the first virtual disk file, wherein each of the plurality of virtual disk files comprises at least one application stored thereon. The method further includes receiving, at the computing device, one or more operations for accessing the first virtual disk file, the one or more operations corresponding to a first application stored on a second virtual disk file of the plurality of virtual disk files. The method further includes redirecting the one or more operations for accessing the first virtual disk file to the second virtual disk file.

Virtual application delivery using synthetic block devices

Methods and systems are disclosed for opening unverified content in a separate, disposable virtualized environment using a temporary virtual machine (VM). In one example, the disclosed method includes intercepting a request to open/access unverified content from a third-party remote server, and comparing the particular information/attributes of the unverified content against predetermined criteria. Then, the user device may connect using a remote presentation protocol to the temporary VM in the separate, disposable environment such that the output of the unverified content may be transported to and displayed in the separate, disposable environment. The connection with the temporary VM may be terminated and the separate, disposable environment may be wiped clean to reduce the risk of malicious code in the unverified content.

Separate, disposable execution environment for accessing unverified content

Aspects described herein allow multiple devices to function as a coherent whole, allowing each device to take on distinct functions that are complementary to one another. Aspects described herein also allow the devices function as a coherent whole when interconnected devices and their respective applications are configured to operate in various operation modes, when management policies are employed to control the operation of the interconnected devices and their respective applications, when transferring content between the interconnected devices and storing the content at those devices, when obtaining access credentials for the interconnected devices that enable the devices to access enterprise resources, when a policy agent applies management policies to control operation of and interaction between the interconnected devices, and when the interconnected devices are used to access an enterprise application store.

Enterprise application store for an orchestration framework for connected devices

Systems and methods for interconnecting devices using an orchestration framework are provided herein. An orchestration framework may be provided, and the orchestration framework may interconnect multiple of devices such that the devices are available to share content and computing activities with one another. The orchestration framework may coordinate interactions between the devices that are interconnected with each other through the orchestration framework. A request to share content may be received from one of the devices. The distribution of the content to one or more of the devices may be managed using the orchestration framework. The content may be a file uploaded to a remote data store, content stored at a clipboard that is accessible to the interconnected devices, or a link.

Orchestration framework for connected devices

Methods and systems for automatic setup and initiation of meeting resources are described herein. A meeting room, area, or resource may be equipped with a camera or other proximity based sensor to determine when a user enters the meeting area. The camera may perform initial recognition of a user, e.g., based on facial or body recognition. The system may then authenticate the user as the meeting organizer using a second recognition technique, e.g., voice recognition. Based on the user authentication, the system may query the meeting organizer's calendar (or other resource) for meeting information, download an associated meeting presentation from cloud storage, initiate meeting (e.g., screen sharing) software, notify any missing attendees that the meeting has begun, and launch the presentation on a shared screen. The meeting organizer may then control the presentation using video and/or voice. All may be completed without the meeting organizer being required to touch anything.
