SYSTEM AND METHOD TO REDIRECT USB MASS STORAGE DEVICES IN HIGH LATENCY VDI ENVIRONMENTS

摘要

In certain information handling system environments, physical devices connected to a client are redirected to a server or other information handling system. Read and write transaction requests to these redirected devices will use and occupy network bandwidth. Allowing the client to unmount its file system (if present) and locking its disk stack while permitting the server to load a virtual disk enumerator and file system stack for the processing of transaction requests to the virtual disk provides efficiency in the amount of network bandwidth required for any given transaction request. In such a system, the server processes overhead related to the transaction requests at the server and thus executes fewer transactions requests to the client.
