Abstract
A method for providing virtual desktop services includes receiving a request for a session from a user; instantiating a virtual machine for the session; copying user data for the user from a data backup to a user volume attached to the virtual machine; and creating a delta disk associated with the user volume, wherein the delta disk records changes to the user data during the session. A system for providing virtual desktop services, includes a shared storage device having user data stored thereon; a host server configured to run one or more virtual machines, the host server having a local storage device; virtual machine having a user volume with a copy of the user data and a delta disk having changed user data.
