Abstract
A system for granting access to resources includes a client machine, a collection agent, a policy engine, and a broker server. The client machine requests access to a resource. The collection agent gathers information about the client machine. The policy engine receives the gathered information and assigns one of a plurality of levels of access responsive to application of a policy to the received information. The broker server establishes, responsive to the assigned level of access, a connection between the client machine and a computing environment providing the requested resource, the computing environment provided by a virtual machine.
