Abstract
A virtual installation module running on a user device determines that at least one application file chunk is to be stored in a memory of the user device prior to being executed, wherein the application file chunk includes a subset of the data of the application and is stored on a remote storage device that correspond to an application to be executed by the processing device. The virtual installation module determines when a request to execute the application on the user device will be received and stores the at least one application file chunk from the remote storage device in the memory of the user device based at least in part on when the at least one application file chunk will be utilized during execution of the application.
