    Abstract: Systems and methods for contextually allocating emulation resources for providing an emulation session are disclosed. The method involves a plurality of emulation parameters including the computer product to be emulated, context data defining an emulation context, at least one kind of external resource usable to provide the emulation of the computer product. The method includes receiving an emulation request from a client device; determining a required class of service for providing the emulation based on the context data; determining a plurality of possible resource instances providable by the emulator system; selecting at least one selected resource instance from the plurality of possible resource instances to provide an operating instance of the at least one kind of external hardware resource for the emulation based at least in part on the required class of service; and providing the emulation to the client device using the at least one selected resource instance.

    Abstract: A method and system are provided for managing access to resources available remotely from at least one computing device. The resources include at least one software application and at least one hardware component. The method and system involve storing access level indicators for indicating different types of access; storing identifiers for identifying different users with access to the at least one computing device and possible access to the resources; for each resource and each identifier, storing an access level indicator for that resource and that user; and before granting access to a resource for a user seeking access to the resource, operating a processor to: determine an identifier identifying the user; determine the access level indicator stored in the storage module for the identifier and the resource; and if access is consistent with the determined access level indicator, grant access to the resource, otherwise, deny access to the resource.

    Abstract: A method and system for emulating a computer product at an emulator server. The method and system involve receiving an emulation request to emulate the computer product; determining emulation properties based on the emulation request; determining whether each resource in the one or more resources is available at the emulator server; in response to determining at least one unavailable resource from the one or more resources, accessing the at least one unavailable resource at a remote emulator server, the remote emulator server being in electronic communication with the emulator server via a virtual external bus interface and the virtual external bus interface being operable to facilitate data communication between two or more different device components, and otherwise, initializing the resource at the emulator server; and initializing the computer product at the emulator server.

    Abstract: A method and system for providing an emulation of a computer product is described. The method and system involve receiving an emulation request for initiating the emulation; in response to receiving the emulation request, creating an emulation session based at least on the emulation data and creating an emulation session identifier; determining one or more resources required for providing the emulation based on the emulation data and linking resource identifiers for the one or more resources with the emulation session identifier; identifying one or more emulator servers capable of providing the emulation based at least on the one or more resources and linking emulator server identifiers for the one or more emulator servers with the emulation session identifier; defining session data for the emulation session based on the emulation session identifier; and initiating the emulation session based on the session data.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing one or more software applications. The methods and systems involve receiving an application request from a user device identifying, at least, a software application to be provided by a host computer server; providing a resource library for the host computer server that defines the resources required for providing each software application; identifying, from the resource library, a set of resources required for providing the requested software application, the set of resources includes at least one resource required for an application operating system to support the requested software application; and providing the requested software application with the set of resources. The application operating system can be different from a host operating system at the host computer server. The set of resources can be launched as a containerized resource instance, which is operationally isolated from other containerized resource instances provided by the host computer server.
