Patent application number | Title | Published |
20130159381 | AUTONOMOUS NETWORK STREAMING - Embodiments are directed to dynamically delivering virtual software applications and to allocating application data between local and network data stores. In one scenario, a computer system establishes a data input/output (I/O) filter configured to intercept data file requests being sent from a virtual software application to an operating system's file system. The data I/O filter intercepts a data file read request that is configured to retrieve a specified data file from the file system. The data I/O filter forwards the intercepted read request to a network-accessible data store that is configured to return the specific data file. Then, upon receiving the specified data file from the network data store, the I/O filter sends the specified data file to the virtual software application. In this manner, the specified data file is usable by the virtual application. | 2013-06-20 |
20130159382 | GENERICALLY PRESENTING VIRTUALIZED DATA - Embodiments are directed to generically exposing virtualized data stored in the data store and to efficiently providing data from a virtualized data source. In one embodiment, a computer system provides various data interfaces that are configured to receive data requests for data elements stored on a data store. The data store sends an indication that placeholder data is to be displayed while the requested data is retrieved and transmitted. The data store then retrieves the requested data elements according to the received request and dynamically sends the retrieved data elements to the data requestor. The retrieved data elements are then dynamically added to the displayed placeholder data as each data element is received from the data store. | 2013-06-20 |
