AUTOMATED DESKTOP PLACEMENT

摘要

Systems and methods are presented for enabling a user to provide rules for the placement of computing resources at a data center for an entity that employs or is associated with the user. The data center can use the placement rules to select a data center computer system to host computing resources for a user. The rules can be used to establish, diversity in computing resource placement at the data center thereby reducing the number of users who lose access to computing resources when a specific data center computer suffers a failure. Further, the placement rules can be used to facilitate configuration of the computer resources for the user based, for example, on the user's employment responsibilities.

1. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
as implemented by one or more computing devices configured with specific computer-executable instructions,
receiving a request from a computing device of an entity to access a computing resource at a data center, the data center providing access to one or more computing resources;determining an identity of a sub-entity of the entity associated with the request from the computing device, the entity comprising a plurality of sub-entities;determining an access rule for accessing the computing resource from a plurality of access rules based at least partially on the identity of the sub-entity, wherein at least some of the plurality of access rules reduce the effect of a system failure of at least one computing resource at the data center on access to the computing resource by the entity;identifying an instance of the computing resource at the data center based at least partially on the access rule; andproviding the computing device with access to the instance of the computing resource.
