Abstract:

A computer system may include a plurality of client computing devices, and a plurality of host computing devices each configured to provide virtual computing sessions for the client computing devices. Each host computing device may have a virtual delivery agent (VDA) associated therewith configured to connect the client computing devices with the virtual computing sessions. The VDAs within a first group may be configured to operate during off-peak hours, and VDAs within a second group different than the first group may be configured not to operate during the off-peak hours. The client computing devices may be configured to request virtual computing sessions from the VDAs in accordance with respective VDA leases, and each VDA lease may include at least one of the VDAs from the first group.
