Virtual Machines for Administering Computers-Patent


Stanford Reference:

03-334A


Abstract


Stanford researchers have patented an automated computer management system which can virtualize computers as well as the network of virtual machines to automatically and easily manage a large number of computers.

This system creates a reliable way to ship executables electronically, allowing the software to be used immediately. Users will have easy access to the latest machine configurations and their computing environments from any machine connected to the internet anytime and anywhere in the world. During this pandemic where people are working and studying mostly on-line, this invention will help provide fast and reliable updated systems in remote working and learning environments.
