Abstract
Techniques for automatically launching a virtual machine associated with a client during startup are described herein. According to one embodiment, a virtual machine (VM) associated with a client is identified by a controller, in response to a message received by the controller from a client over a network indicating that the client is starting up. The VM may be one of a predetermined VM, a member of a group of VMs that are associated with the client, and a VM selected from a pool of VMs. The controller causes the associated VM to be launched automatically over the network as a part of a startup process of the client without user intervention. Other methods and apparatuses are also described.
