Abstract

In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, an information handling system for deployment of a streaming application to a streaming application environment comprising the information handling system and one or more target systems may include computer-readable media for storing a library of one or more sequenced applications and entitlement data associated with the one or more sequenced applications and a processor communicatively coupled to the computer-readable media. The processor may be configured to communicate a query for an entitlement to the sequenced application to a digital assets entitlement system server, responsive to a determination that an entitlement exists for the streaming application environment to the sequenced application, receive the sequenced application from the digital assets entitlement system server, and deploy and provision the sequenced application to the one or more target systems via application streaming.

Claims (31)

1. An information handling system for deployment of a streaming application to a streaming application environment comprising the information handling system and a plurality of target systems, the information handling system comprising:

non-transitory computer-readable storage media for storing a sequenced application and entitlement data associated with the sequenced application, wherein the entitlement data includes information regarding a number and types of entitlements available for the sequenced application, wherein the sequenced application:

includes a plurality of information handling system changes, recorded by a sequencing tool, associated with an installation of a particular application; and

sequence information indicative of a sequence of said changes; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the non-transitory computer-readable storage media and configured to:

communicate a query for an entitlement to the sequenced application to a digital assets entitlement system server;

responsive to a determination that an entitlement exists for the streaming application environment to the sequenced application, receive the sequenced application from the digital assets entitlement system server;

determine from entitlement data a number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems; and

based on the number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems, deploy and provision the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems via application streaming.

2. The information handling system of claim 1 , the processor configured to deploy and provision the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with the entitlement data.

3. The information handling system of claim 1 , the processor configured to deploy and provision the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with policies set by a user.

4. A computer-implemented method for deployment of a streaming application to a streaming application environment comprising the information handling system and a plurality of target systems, comprising:

communicating a query for an entitlement to a sequenced application to a digital assets entitlement system server;

responsive to a determination that an entitlement exists within entitlement data of the digital assets entitlement system server for the streaming application environment to the sequenced application, receiving the sequenced application from the digital assets entitlement system server in a library of one or more sequenced applications, wherein the entitlement data includes information regarding a number and types of entitlements available for the sequenced application and wherein the sequenced application includes:

a plurality of information handling system changes, recorded by a sequencing tool, associated with an installation of a particular application and;

sequence information indicative of a sequence of said changes;

determining from entitlement data a number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems; and

based on the number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems, deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of systems via application streaming.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems comprises deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with the entitlement data.

6. The method of claim 4 , wherein deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems comprises deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with policies set by a user.

7. An article of manufacture comprising:

a non-transitory computer readable medium; and

computer-executable instructions carried on the non-transitory computer readable medium, the instructions readable by a processor, the instructions, when read and executed, for causing the processor to, in a streaming application environment comprising an information handling system and a plurality of target systems:

communicate a query for an entitlement to sequenced application to a digital assets entitlement system server;

responsive to a determination that an entitlement exists within entitlement data of the digital assets entitlement system server for the streaming application environment to the sequenced application, receive the sequenced application from the digital assets entitlement system server, wherein the entitlement data includes information regarding a number and types of entitlements available for the sequenced application stored in a library;

determine from entitlement data a number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems; and

based on the number and types of entitlements available to the sequenced application for the plurality of target systems, deploy and provision the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems via application streaming, wherein the sequenced application includes:

a plurality of information handling system changes, recorded by a sequencing tool, associated with an installation of a particular application; and

sequence information indicative of a sequence in which said changes occurred.

8. The article of claim 7 , wherein deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems comprises deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with the entitlement data.

9. The article of claim 7 , wherein deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems comprises deploying and provisioning the sequenced application to the plurality of target systems in accordance with policies set by a user.
