Abstract
An endpoint broker to provide application launch endpoints from multiple data centers having different tenancy sets. Upon accessing a request for an application launch endpoint connection for a user, the broker selects a data center, from amongst multiple data centers that have different tenancy sets, that is to provide an endpoint in satisfaction of the request. The endpoint broker identifies an endpoint from the selected data center, and then associates the identified endpoint with the user. The user is then provided access to the identified endpoint using the association. Thus, a user is not restricted to having an endpoint from a single data center. If there are concerns with providing an endpoint from one data center, an endpoint may be provided from another data center in a manner that is transparent to the user.
