Multi-session Zero Client Device and Network for Transporting Separated Flows to Device Sessions via Virtual Nodes

摘要

A network of nodes transports a plurality of flows from central nodes to a plurality of display sessions executing processes that operate under the control of one or more central operating systems. A plurality of isolated virtual nodes comprises 1) a plurality of virtual graphics nodes that concurrently process graphics flows used in the plurality of display sessions at the plurality of remote zero client nodes and 2) a plurality of virtual switches that switch the concurrently processed graphic flows from the virtual graphics nodes to the plurality of remote zero client nodes. Two or more graphic flows are used simultaneously in two or more display sessions at a single remote zero client node that executes a separating operating system for separating the two or more display sessions from each other based on a a separation policy for the two or more graphics flows.

1. A network of nodes configured to transport a plurality of flows from one or more central nodes to a plurality of display sessions executed in a plurality of remote zero client nodes, comprising:
a plurality of central processing units in the one or more central nodes configured to execute a plurality of processes that operate under the control of one or more central operating systems; and a plurality of virtual nodes in the one or more central nodes that are isolated from each other by hardware simulation, said plurality of virtual nodes comprising 1) a plurality of virtual graphics nodes configured to concurrently process graphics flows used in the plurality of display sessions at the plurality of remote zero client nodes and 2) a plurality of virtual switches that switch the concurrently processed graphic flows from the plurality of virtual graphics nodes to the plurality of remote zero client nodes, wherein a virtual node is isolated by isolating a virtual graphic node and virtual switch in a corresponding virtual node from another virtual graphic node and virtual switch in another corresponding virtual node; and a plurality of sender and receiver nodes configured to transport two or more graphic flows over the network that are used simultaneously in two or more display sessions at a single remote zero client node, which executes a separating operating system for separating the two or more display sessions from each other based on a separation configuration that implements a separation policy for the two or more graphics flows.
