Abstract:
Systems and methods for a computer cluster and for conducting user sessions in a managed enterprise computer network. A cluster includes multiple inter-connected nodes with specific roles. Master nodes administer and monitor slave nodes and the slave nodes are used to conduct user sessions with users through terminal nodes that provide an interface to the cluster. The cluster also may include server nodes that provide network services. Master nodes also control admittance to the cluster of external nodes and sub-clusters. Admin nodes form a control plane used to control and administer the cluster through the master nodes. The cluster provides a virtual environment for the user session that is built from at least an operating system image, an application image and other data needed for the user session.
