Abstract
A method and a system to perform the method are disclosed, the method includes receiving, by a virtualization server communicatively coupled with a client device, a request to provide a virtual machine (VM) to a client device, accessing a profile associated with the client device, instantiating a VM on the virtualization server, wherein the VM is a linked clone VM of a base VM, wherein the linked clone VM has (1) a read-only access to a shared range of a persistent memory associated with the base VM, wherein the shared range of the persistent memory is determined in view of the profile associated with the client device and stores at least one application installed on the virtualization server, (2) a write access to a private range of the persistent memory, wherein the private range is associated with the VM, and providing the VM to the client device.
