Abstract
Systems and methods for 'Wake on Application' (WOA). An Information Handling System (IHS) may include a logic circuit and a memory having instructions that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: receive a WOA packet while the IHS is in a first power state, where the WOA packet identifies at least one of a software application or virtual server residing within the IHS; and, in response to having received the WOA packet, operate in a second power state and launch the software application or wake up the virtual server. A method may include originating, via a first IHS, a single WOA packet; and transmitting the single WOA packet over a network, where the single WOA packet is configured to cause a second IHS to switch operation from a first power state to a second power state, and to launch a software application or wake up a virtual server.
