Systems and methods for providing virtual monitors

Abstract:

A virtual server includes one or more processors that execute instructions to generate a virtual desktop, and generate an active virtual monitor and a paused virtual monitor for the generated virtual desktop. A first portion of the generated virtual desktop is assigned to the active virtual monitor, and a second portion of the generated virtual desktop is assigned to the paused virtual monitor. The active and paused virtual monitors each have a respective allocated memory. The amount of memory allocated for the paused virtual monitor is less than the amount of memory allocated for the active virtual monitor. A captured image of at least one of the first and second portions of the generated virtual desktop is provided for presenting on a physical monitor of a client device.
