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

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, 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 use of access or action permits, referred to as permits that the consumer acquires from an intermediate entity&#x2014;an Action Manager (AM)&#x2014;prior to accessing the resource or service. Regulating access includes, for example, controlling one or more of the number of concurrent accesses to a particular resource, the rate at which consumers access the resource, the total number of consumers in a group of consumers accessing the resource, and the total rate at which a group of consumers accesses a resource. According to various embodiments, similar regulation is applied to a group of resources (rather than a single resource).
