Abstract
Virtualization was considered as the best way to isolate independent thin client sessions on a physical machine. However, the hypervisor, guest OS and guest remote server not only consumes a considerable amount of memory but also degrades the processing power of CPU. In this paper, we propose a novel cross-layer isolation technology to support independent user sessions with only one OS and one remote server. Furthermore, a session allocation/migration algorithm is introduced in this paper. The algorithm solves the multi-user to multi-machine allocation/migration problem within thin client environment.
