System and method for on-demand delivery of operating system and/or applications

摘要

A system includes a module to determine a dependency between at least one operating system and at least one application, an interface module to permit an independent selection of an operating system image and an application image, a service to stream a first portion of the application image, and to stream, on-demand, a second portion of the application image, and a memory to store at least one of the operating system image and the application image. The at least one application is compatible with the at least one operating system. Methods and machine-readable medium, and hardware apparatus are provided.

主权项

1. A system for streaming one or more operating system images and/or one or more application images, the system comprising:
a processor; and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, the memory comprising instructions operable, when executed by the processor, to cause the processor to:
determine a dependency between at least one operating system and at least one application;permit an independent selection, based on the determined dependency, of at least one operating system image comprising the at least one operating system, and at least one application image comprising the at least one application, to stream to a remote device;stream a first portion of the at least one application image to the remote device to allow the at least one application to initially run, and configured to stream, on-demand, a second portion of the at least one application image to the remote device in response to the at least one application initially running; and the memory configured to store at least one of the at least one operating system image and the at least one application image, wherein the determined dependency between the at least one operating system and the at least one application comprises determining whether the at least one application is compatible with the at least one operating system.
