Abstract

A method and system of operating an actual or virtual desktop or server and managing such desktops and servers involves one or more cache appliances serving desktop, operating system, and application objects to a managed machine. The objects are composited together to present a normal file structure to the user, with all user configuration and data stored in the desktop object. Management requirements are minimized to maintain operating system and application objects, while users maintain distinct and customizable desktops.
