Abstract

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for using process attachable virtual machines to provide isolation between user sessions in a scalable manner, enabling a server to robustly process requests corresponding to a large number of user sessions. The methods and apparatus include initializing a process attachable virtual machine for a user session, receiving a request corresponding to the user session, and binding the process attachable virtual machine to an operating system process to process the request.
