Abstract
Techniques for improving boot time of a client having a virtualized operating environment are described herein. According to one embodiment, a controller identifies a virtual machine (VM) associated with a client in response to a message received by the controller from a client over a network indicating that the client is starting up. The controller automatically launches the associated VM at a remote node. The associated VM is being started up at the remote node while the client is being started up at the client concurrently, such that a starting time for the client and the associated VM as a whole is reduced. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
