ABSTRACT:
A method and device for provisioning another device with an application. The golden image of the application, representing a source copy of the application, is stored at a first storage location in a central storage device. A copy of the golden image is generated prior to receiving a request for the golden image. The copy of the golden image is stored at a second storage location in the central storage device. The second storage location is mapped to a device that needs a copy of the golden image, wherein the device is operable to execute the application in communication with the central storage device. Once this device has been provisioned with the copy of the golden image, another copy is made in anticipation of another request. In this manner, the time needed to provision a device is substantially reduced.
