Abstract

A logical client includes a primary client device and one or more secondary client devices. Each of the secondary client devices may be coupled to one or more peripherals. The primary client in the logical client may use a virtual machine (VM) and/or an application that uses one or more peripheral devices. The primary client device may not be coupled to the one or more peripheral devices used by the application and/or the VM. The primary client device may access the peripheral devices coupled to secondary client devices in order to use the application and/or the VM.
