The present invention is directed towards the acceleration of delivery of a computing environment to a remote user of a client at a remote location. The computing environment may include an application and a data file used or processed by the application. The application and data file may be stored or provided via a server remote to the client. The user can request a computing environment from the server that provides for execution of the application by the user via the remote computer. For example, the server may stream the application to the remote client. The client and server may communicate via an appliance that accelerates communications between the client and server. For example, the appliance may accelerate the streaming of the application to the remote user. In some cases, the application or remote user may also request a data file from the server, and the appliance accelerates the delivery of the data file to the remote user. As such, users at remote locations obtain accelerated access via any network connected device to applications and data files located remotely to the user.

An intelligent network streaming and execution system for conventionally coded applications provides a system that partitions an application program into page segments by observing the manner in which the application program is conventionally installed. A minimal portion of the application program is installed on a client system and the user launches the application in the same ways that applications on other client file systems are started. An application program server streams the page segments to the client as the application program executes on the client and the client stores the page segments in a cache. Page segments are requested by the client from the application server whenever a page fault occurs from the cache for the application program. The client prefetches page segments from the application server or the application server pushes additional page segments to the client based on the pattern of page segment requests for that particular application. The user subscribes and unsubscribes to application programs, whenever the user accesses an application program a securely encrypted access token is obtained from a license server if the user has a valid subscription to the application program. The application server begins streaming the requested page segments to the client when it receives a valid access token from the client. The client performs server load balancing across a plurality of application servers. If the client observes a non-response or slow response condition from an application server or license server, it switches to another application or license server.

The present application discloses methods and systems for configuring and managing class-based condensation. One aspect thereof includes an automated mechanism to receive a user request for a document, retrieve the document from a content server, and compare the document to a base file of a document class. If a delta-difference between the requested document and the base file is less than a predetermined threshold value, create a condensed document by abbreviating redundancy in the requested document relative to the base file of the associated document class, associate the document with the document class, and transmit the condensed document to the user. The documents within a document class possess similar layouts.

Method and system for class-based management of dynamic content in a networked environment

A method for enabling access to a data resource, which is held on a file server (25) on a first local area network (LAN) (21a), by a client (28) on a second LAN (21b). A proxy receiver (48) on the second LAN (21b) intercepts a request for the data resource submitted by the client (28) and transmits a message via a wide area network (WAN) (29) to a proxy transmitter (52) on the first LAN (21a), requesting the data resource. The proxy transmitter (52) retrieves a replica of the data resource from the file server (25) and conveys the replica of the data resource over the WAN (29) to the proxy receiver (48), which serves the replica of the data resource from the proxy receiver (48) to the client (28) over the second LAN (21b).

Virtual file-sharing network

A method and system for executing a streamed application on a client system utilizes a virtual file system installed in the client which is configured to appear to the operating system as a local storage device containing all of the application files required by the application. Prior to streaming, the application files are broken up into streamlets corresponding generally to various portions of the application files and these streamlets are delivered to the client by the server, preferably using a predictive algorithm to determine an optimal transmission order. After an initial set of streamlets is received, the application is executed from the virtual file system. File loads issued by the operating system to the virtual file system are translated to determine which streamlets correspond to the load request and the appropriate data is returned. If a needed streamlet is not present, a streamlet request is issued to the server and the virtual file system maintains a busy status until the necessary streamlets have been provided.

Method and system for executing network streamed applications

A method and system for streaming software applications (100) to a client (14) uses an application server having a library with the application files stored therein. A streaming manager is configured to send the application files to a client (14) as a plurality of streamlets, each streamlet corresponding to a particular data block in a respective application file. A streaming prediction engine (172) is provided to identify at least one streamlet which is predicted to be most appropriate to send to a given client at a particular time in accordance with a prediction model reflecting the manner in which the application files are loaded and used by the application. In the preferred implementation, the application files are preprocessed and stored as a set of compressed streamlets, each of which corresponds to a file data block having a size equal to a code page size, such as 4k, used during file reads by an operating system expected to be present on a client (14) system. In addition, the server is configured to send a startup block to a new streaming client containing a file structure specification of the application files and a set of streamlets comprising at least those streamlets containing the portions of the application required to enable execution of the application to be initiated.

Method and system for streaming software applications to a client

Application files are preprocessed for use in an application streaming environment by dividing each file in the installed application into blocks corresponding to the code page block size used when the application files are loaded by the operation system, such as 4 k. Each block is compressed and the compressed blocks from all of the files are packaged into a repository which permits specific blocks to be extracted. The repository a specification for the application's file structure are combined into a streaming application package which can be distributed to servers supporting the streaming of the application to a client. The application package can also include an environmental install information indicating changes introduced to a computer system by installation of the application on the computer system, a startup set indicating those blocks which are sufficient for execution of the application to be initiated and progress to a designated startup point, and a predictive model suitable for use by a streaming server in determining likely blocks to be loaded by the application when in a given state.

Preprocessed applications suitable for network streaming applications and method for producing same

Executable software sent from an application service provider to a client computer can be arranged as a bundle of executable code blocks that are used during initialization of a group of applications (at least one initialization block from each application being included in the bundle). The bundle can include code for applications that are subscribed to by a user as well as for applications not subscribed to. As the subscribed applications are executed, usage data sent to a server may be monitored to determine unsubscribed applications that may be of interest to the user. Subscription offers may be automatically generated and sent to the user in response to processing of the usage data. Transmission efficiency of the code blocks may be improved by exchanging identification codes between the server and client to determine code blocks already present at the client.
