Abstract

Embodiments described include systems and methods for delivering a network application. An intermediary device between a client device and a server hosting a network application establishes a connection with the network application. The intermediary device receives encoded application data and decodes the encoded application data. The application data is encoded graphics data or audio data. The decoded application data is renderable at the client device. The intermediary device transmits the decoded application graphics and/or audio data to a client application of the client application for rendering to provide user access to the network application.

Claims (29)

1. A method for delivering a network application, the method comprising:

establishing, by a device arranged intermediary to a client device and a server hosting a network application, a connection with the network application, the device separate from the client device and the server;

receiving, by the device via the established connection, application data of the network application that comprises encoded graphics data;

decoding, by the device, the received application data of the network application, into decoded graphics data, for direct rendering at the client device without further processing of the decoded graphics data, the decoded graphics data being modifiable to achieve performance characteristics in accordance with characteristics of the client device; and

transmitting, by the device, the decoded graphics data to a client application of the client device for direct rendering without further processing of the decoded graphics data, to provide user access to the network application at the client device.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising causing an embedded browser integrated in the client application to render the decoded graphics data.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application data comprises user interface display commands or messages.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the network application comprises a remote-hosted application, a remote-hosted desktop, or a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein decoding the received application data further comprises optimizing the received application data at a network level for rendering at the client device.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising monitoring, by the device, the traffic communicated between the network application and the client device.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

providing, by the device, a secure browser for rendering the received application data at the device.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising maintaining, by the device, a state of the network application when the client device disconnects from a session of the network application via the device.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising maintaining, by the device, a state of the network application when a session of the network application via the device is transferred from the client device to another client device.

10. A system for delivering a network application, the system comprising:

a device arranged intermediary to a client device and a server hosting a network application, the device separate from the client device and the server, the device comprising one or more processors and memory, the device configured to:

establish a connection with the network application;

receive, via the established connection, application data of the network application that comprises encoded graphics data;

decode the received application data of the network application, into decoded graphics data, for direct rendering at the client device without further processing of the decoded graphics data, the decoded graphics data being modifiable to achieve performance characteristics in accordance with characteristics of the client device; and

transmit the decoded graphics data to a client application of the client device for direct rendering without further processing of the decoded graphics data, to provide user access to the network application at the client device.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is further configured to cause an embedded browser integrated in the client application to render the decoded graphics data.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the application data comprises user interface display commands or messages.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the network application comprises a remote-hosted application, a remote-hosted desktop, or a software-as-a-service (SaaS) application.

14. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is further configured to optimize the received application data at a network level for rendering at the client device.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is further configured to monitor the traffic communicated between the network application and the client device.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is configured to:

provide a secure browser for rendering the received application data at the device.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is further configured to maintain a state of the network application when the client device disconnects from a session of the network application via the device.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the device is further configured to maintain a state of the network application when a session of the network application via the device is transferred from the client device to another client device.
