Method and Apparatus for Accelerated Virtual Image Provisioning in Distributed Cloud Environments

摘要

Systems, methods and/or software where a separate image repository server (IRS) is created and maintained in each and every network and/or subnet segment that includes a destination server associated with the managed pool. Also, when a given virtual image is provisioned to a given destination server then the present invention preferably ensures that the IRS used as a source of the given virtual image is an IRS located in the same subnet and same network as the given destination server.
