Abstract
A host device receives from a user at a first client device a first login request for hosted virtual desktop (HVD) services. A first virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) session is started upon receiving a valid first login request. A first unified communications (UC) session is established between the first client device and an endpoint device. A second login request is received from the user at a second client device, the second login request configured to request HVD services. A second VDI session is started to mediate an HVD session for the user upon receiving a valid second login request. A second UC session is established between the second client device and the endpoint device. A media communication session associated with the first UC session is transferred from the first client device to the second client device after the second VDI session is started and the second UC session is established.
