Remoting Application Servers

摘要

Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing remote application access, and, in some cases, by instantiating an application or service close to the intended recipient or user of the application or service, from a networking perspective. A network might provide connectivity between a first computer and a second computer. A file (comprising an application and data) might be transmitted, over the network, from the first computer. A node in the network, which might be on a path between the first and second computers, might determine that the file contains the application and the data, and, based on such determination, might capture the file (before the second computer can receive it). An instance of the application might be instantiated on a compute surface in the network as a service for the second computer, such that the compute surface can operate on the data with the instance of the application.

1. A method, comprising:
providing, with a network, connectivity between a first computer and a second computer; transmitting, over the network, a file from the first computer toward a second computer, the file comprising an application and data additional to the application; determining, with a node in the network on a path between the first computer and the second computer, that the file contains the application; capturing, with the node in the network, the file containing the application and the data, before the second computer can receive the file; instantiating an instance of the application on a compute surface in the network as a service for the second computer; and operating on the data with the instance of the application.
