Computer-readable medium, method and computer system for accessing a networked peripheral device

摘要

An input/output (I/O) request processing system (150) comprises a drive command module (20) adapted to receive an I/O request (15) referencing a local peripheral address for processing of the I/O request (15). The system (150) also comprises a redirector (120) communicatively coupled to the drive command module (20). The redirector (120) is adapted to automatically convey the I/O request (15) over a communication network (130) to a remote peripheral device (85) for processing of the I/O request (15).
