SYNCHRONIZING USER STATES ACROSS MULTIPLE CLIENTS OF A NAS SYSTEM

摘要

Methods, computing systems and computer program products implement embodiments of the present invention that include detecting, by a file-level storage system such as a network attached storage system, a user operating a first computer in communication with the file level storage system via a network, and maintaining, while the user is operating the first computer, multiple states for the user. In some embodiments, the user may operate the first computer by logging on to the first computer, and executing one or more applications and data files. Upon detecting the user operating a second computer in communication with the file level storage system via the network, the file-level storage system can synchronize applications and data files on the second computer to the multiple states. In embodiments of the present invention, the user operates the second computer by logging on to the second computer while still logged on to the first computer.
