Abstract

Clients may display desktop environments to provide users with access to virtual machines (VMs). Graphical objects that displayed in the desktop environments are stored in caches in multiple clients. A host that hosts a VM may track or manage the graphical objects that are in the caches of the multiple clients. The host may instruct a first client to obtain a graphical object from a second client that is near the first client, instead of providing the graphical object to the first client directly.
