Abstract

Claims (65)

1. A system, comprising:

a plurality of information handling systems;

wherein a first information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems is configured to:

execute a first application within a first operating system (OS) virtualization;

determine that i) a temperature threshold, associated with executing the first application, has been met or exceeded and ii) a sound pressure level threshold, associated with executing the first application, has been met or exceeded;

in response to determining that i) the temperature threshold has been met or exceeded and ii) the sound pressure level threshold has been met or exceeded, suspend the first application at a point of execution;

determine one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization, wherein the one or more statuses includes the point of execution where the first application was suspended; and

provide the one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization to a second information handling system of the plurality of information handling systems via a network; and

wherein the second information handling system is configured to:

configure a second application and a second OS virtualization with the one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization;

establish input/output (I/O) associated with the second application with one or more components of the first information handling system via the network;

execute the second application within the second OS virtualization at the point of execution where the first application was suspended; and

provide, by the second application, data to at least one of the one or more components of the first information handling system via the network.

2. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information handling system includes a first processor associated with a first instruction set architecture (ISA);

wherein the first information handling system executes the first application with the first processor associated with the first ISA;

wherein the second information handling system includes a second processor associated with a second ISA, different from the first ISA; and

wherein the second information handling system executes the second application with the second processor associated with the second ISA.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first information handling system is further configured to:

in response to determining that the threshold has been met or exceeded, retrieve one or more policies from a policy storage; and

determine that at least one of the one or more policies permits executing the second application on the second information handling system.

4. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information handling system utilizes an OS;

wherein the first information handling system includes a virtual machine;

wherein the virtual machine utilizes a guest OS;

wherein the virtual machine includes the first OS virtualization; and

wherein the first OS virtualization is associated with the guest OS.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein, to establish the I/O associated with the second application with the one or more components of the first information handling system via the network, the second information handling system is further configured to establish the I/O associated with the second application with a kernel driver of the first information handling system.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more components of the first information handling system includes one or more of a display, a keyboard, a pointing device, a universal serial bus (USB) port, an audio input port, a camera, and a biometric input.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the second information handling system is further configured to:

establish the I/O associated with the second application with a graphical user interface executed by the first information handling system.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the graphical user interface includes a web browser.

9. The system of claim 1 ,

wherein the first information handling system is further configured to receive a plurality of events associated with the executing the first application; and

wherein, to determine the one or more statuses associated with the first application, the first information handling system is further configured to determine the one or more statuses associated with the first application based at least on the plurality of events associated with executing the first application.

10. A method, comprising:

executing a first application within a first operating system (OS) virtualization on a first information handling system;

determining that La temperature threshold, associated with executing the first application, has been met or exceeded and ii) a sound pressure level threshold, associated with executing the first application, has been met or exceeded;

in response to the determining that i) the temperature threshold has been met or exceeded and ii) the sound pressure level threshold has been met or exceeded, suspending the first application at a point of execution;

determining one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization, wherein the one or more statuses includes the point of execution where the first application was suspended;

providing the one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization to a second information handling system via a network;

configuring a second application and a second OS virtualization with the one or more statuses associated with the first application within the first OS virtualization;

establishing input/output (I/O) associated with the second application with one or more components of the first information handling system via the network;

executing the second application within the second OS virtualization on the second information handling system at the point of execution where the first application was suspended; and

providing, by the second application, data to at least one of the one or more components of the first information handling system via the network.

11. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first information handling system executes the first application with a first processor associated with a first instruction set architecture (ISA); and

wherein the second information handling system executes the second application with a second processor associated with a second ISA, different from the first ISA.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

in response to the determining that the threshold has been met or exceeded, retrieving one or more policies from a policy storage; and

determining that at least one of the one or more policies permits executing the second application on the second information handling system.

13. The method of claim 10 ,

wherein the first information handling system utilizes an OS;

wherein the first information handling system includes a virtual machine;

wherein the virtual machine utilizes a guest OS;

wherein the virtual machine includes the first OS virtualization; and

wherein the first OS virtualization is associated with the guest OS.

14. The method of claim 10 , wherein the establishing the I/O associated with the second application with the one or more components of the first information handling system via the network includes establishing the I/O associated with the second application with a kernel driver of the first information handling system.

15. The method of claim 10 , wherein the one or more components of the first information handling system includes one or more of a display, a keyboard, a pointing device, a universal serial bus (USB) port, an audio input port, a camera, and a biometric input.

16. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

establishing the I/O associated with the second application with a graphical user interface executed by the first information handling system.

17. The method of claim 16 , wherein the graphical user interface includes a web browser.

18. The method of claim 10 , further comprising:

receiving a plurality of events associated with the executing the first application;

wherein the determining the one or more statuses associated with the first application is based at least on the plurality of events associated with the executing the first application.
