Automated address failover for receivers and browsers using a cloud service

Abstract:

Systems and methods for automated address failover for a Computing Device ("CD"). The method comprise: accessing the Cloud Service ("CS") by CD; performing system caching operations by CD to locally store (a) an offline copy of a StoreFront web UI for a main StoreFront provided by CS and (b) a plurality of Cloud Connector addresses; transmitting a silent request from a Receiver of an Application/Desktop delivery solution being executed by CD to each of the CS and the Cloud Connector addresses; operating the Receiver using an address for CS for web API calls to the main StoreFront, if CS responded to the silent request; and operating the Receiver or a Webview using one of the Cloud Connector addresses that is associated with a reachable Cloud Connector for web API calls to a backup StoreFront, if CS did not respond to the silent request.
