LOCAL CONNECTION AND SHARING SYSTEM

摘要

A local connection and sharing system includes a first local IHS that includes a plurality of communication systems, and a second local IHS that includes at least one communication system. The first local IHS receives communication capabilities of the second local IHS using one of its communication systems and uses those communication capabilities to select a first communication system to provide a peer-to-peer connection with the second local IHS. The first local IHS then provides the second local IHS access through the peer-to-peer connection to a first data storage area that is coupled to the first IHS. The first local IHS then performs at least one of (1) sending data that is stored in the first data storage area through the peer-to-peer connection to the second local IHS, and (2) storing data that is received through the peer-to-peer connection from the second local IHS in the first data storage area.

主权项

1. A information handling system (IHS), comprising:
a storage system; a plurality of communication systems; a processing system that is coupled to the storage system and the plurality of communication systems; a non-transitory memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a connection and sharing engine that is configured to:
receive communication capabilities of a local IHS using one of the plurality of communication systems;provide a peer-to-peer connection with the local IHS using a first communication system of the plurality of communication systems that is selected based on the communication capabilities of the local IHS;provide the local IHS access through the peer-to-peer connection to a first data storage area that is included in the storage system; andperform at least one of (1) sending data that is stored in the first data storage area through the peer-to-peer connection to the local IHS, and (2) storing data that is received through the peer-to-peer connection from the local IHS in the first data storage area.
