Various approaches for managing one or more computational commodities in a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) include receiving a collection of utilization records for a user utilizing a desktop resource supported by the computational commodity in a desktop pool, each utilization record corresponding to a utilization rate of the computational commodity by the user; and augmenting or reducing allocation of the computational commodity to the desktop resource utilized by the user based at least in part on the utilization rates.

Systems and methods for managing resources in a virtual desktop infrastructure

Systems, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for regulating access of consumers (e.g., applications, containers, or VMs) to resources and services (e.g., storage). In one embodiment, this regulation occurs through the movement of consumers between different providers of a resource or service, such as a cloud service provider. Moving consumers includes, for example, determining the cost of moving the consumer from a first provider to a second provider. According to various embodiments, the cost of moving the consumer is compared to cost and performance criteria associated with moving the consumer from the first provider to the second provider. Cloud-based services may be priced as templates, reserved instances, or a combination.

Various approaches for managing computational resources in a hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI) cluster include identifying the hosts associated with the HCI cluster for providing one or more computational resources thereto; for each of the hosts, determining a revenue and/or an expense for allocating the computational resource(s) to the HCI cluster; and determining whether to clone, suspend or terminate each host in the HCI cluster based at least in part on the associated revenue and/or expense.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, are disclosed for managing resources, such as computer software licenses, in container systems, including multi-cloud systems. The use of supply chain economics alone and in combination with other techniques offers a unified platform to integrate, optimize or improve, and automate resource management in a container system. These techniques may be used to monitor and control the delivery of service level agreements and software licenses. They may also be used to monitor and control contention of computing resources in a container system, and to suspend or terminate computing resources.
