Abstract
A client hosted virtualization system (CHVS) includes a processor and non-volatile memory with BIOS code and virtualization manager code. The virtualization manager initializes the CHVS, authenticates a virtual machine image and launches the virtual machine based on the image. The CHVS is configurable to execute the BIOS or the virtualization manager. A client system update network includes a client update system and a CHVS with a processor, a security processor, and non-volatile memory with BIOS code and virtualization manager code that initializes the CHVS, authenticates a virtual machine image and launches a virtual machine based on the image. The CHVS is configurable to execute the BIOS or the virtualization manager. The client update system receives updates and sends them to the CHVS. The CHVS authenticates the updates with the security processor, and overwrites the non-volatile memory with the updates.
