CONNECTION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND A METHOD FOR LINKING CONNECTION MANAGEMENT SERVER IN THIN CLIENT SYSTEM

摘要

An exemplary object of the present invention is to suppress the load on each server and network traffic. To achieve this, a plurality of connection management servers are installed so that any of the connection management servers executes acceptance of a connection request from a thin client terminal. Further, the connection management servers manage the states of clients in order to hold the states of the respective clients, and each of the connection management servers searches a client that can be connected by the thin client terminal according to a connection request from this thin client terminal, and replies with the search result to the thin client terminal, and a range of the connection management servers for executing the search of the client is limited for each connection request from the thin client terminal to the thin client server.

1. A connection management system comprising:
a plurality of virtual machine servers running a plurality of clients which execute applications; and a plurality of connection management servers each managing a connection from a thin client terminal to one of the plurality of clients, wherein
the connection management servers store information related to states of the plurality of clients;in response to a connection request from the thin client terminal, at least some of the plurality of connection management servers execute a search for a client available for the thin client terminal, wherein the search is performed across a range of virtual machine servers among the plurality of virtual machine servers; andthe thin client terminal receives a result of the search.
