PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To make storage capability otherwise going underutilized in a LAN available for sharing among workstations connected to the LAN. SOLUTION: Systems connected to the LAN are surveyed for storage capability potentially available for sharing, a weighting function is derived for each system which is indicative of shared system storage capability, and data files to be stored are scattered among and gathered from the connected systems.
