Abstract:

A system for consolidating multiple discrete machines and applications into a single rack mounted server system. Dedicated application servers maintain the discrete machines as virtual machines accessible by thin clients through secure hardwire or wireless connections and through client management servers. The system polls the application servers to compile lists of available and active applications. The list of available applications is displayed to users via an application navigation graphical user interface. The graphical user interface presents a menu from which users can point and click to select the application they wish to access.
