First Claim
Patent Images
1. A micro-staging device comprising:
- a wireless interface module in a mesh WLAN network and operatively coupled to a wireless access point in a physical wireless traffic area for detecting a first data request indicating a presence of a user information handling system in the physical wireless traffic area, wherein the micro-staging device serves the physical wireless traffic area including one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device forming a portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device and wireless range associated with that one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device in the portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device; and
an application processor for establishing a network connection to a remote data center via a backhaul connection with the wireless access point and for pre-fetching workflow data from the remote data center based on a contextual policy;
the application processor further allocating a portion of storage in a cache memory storage device for storing pre-fetched workflow data associated with the user information handling system; and
the wireless interface module further adapted to transmit pre-fetched workflow data from the cache memory storage device at the micro-staging device in response to receiving a second data request from the user information handling system to reduce the burden of communications on the user information handling system to retrieve the pre-fetched workflow data from within the mesh WLAN network;
wherein the workflow data pre-fetched according to the contextual policy are received from the remote data center based on identification of a project associated with the first data request.

Abstract
A micro-staging device has a wireless interface module for detecting a first data request that indicates a presence of a user and an application processor that establishes a network connection to a remote data center. The micro-staging device further allocates a portion of storage in a cache memory storage device for storing pre-fetched workflow data objects associated with the detected user.

8. A method comprising:
-
receiving at a micro-staging device in a mesh WLAN network and operatively coupled to a wireless access point in a physical wireless traffic area an indication of a presence of a user information handling system detected in the physical wireless traffic area, wherein the micro-staging device serves the physical wireless traffic area which includes one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device forming a portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device and wireless range associated with that one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device in the portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device; sending a command to a virtual machine pre-fetch application to provide pre-fetched workflow data according to a contextual policy at a remote data center via a backhaul network connection with the wireless access point; allocating a portion of storage at the micro-staging device for storing pre-fetched workflow data associated with the user information handling system; receiving pre-fetched workflow data from the remote data center; detecting a data request from the user information handling system; and transmitting responsive pre-fetched workflow data from the micro-staging device to the user information handling system to reduce the burden of communications on the user information handling system to retrieve the pre-fetched workflow data from within the mesh WLAN network; wherein the contextual policy determines workflow data to be pre-fetched by the virtual machine pre-fetch application and includes a user-defined instruction reflecting a policy to retrieve workflow data associated with an identified application. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A computer-implemented method for pre-fetching data for delivery to a micro-staging device, the method comprising:
-
receiving a contextual policy at a remote data center via a backhaul connection to a wireless access point in a mesh WLAN network to determine pre-fetching of workflow data stored at the remote data center; receiving a pre-fetch request identifying a user information handling system from the micro-staging device in the mesh WLAN network that is operatively coupled to the wireless access point in a physical wireless traffic area, wherein the micro-staging device serves the physical wireless traffic area which includes one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device forming a portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device and wireless range associated with the one or more wireless access points and the micro-staging device in the portion of the mesh WLAN network associated with the micro-staging device; associating the contextual policy with the user information handling system to be serviced by the pre-fetch request; and transmitting workflow data in response to the pre-fetch request according to the contextual policy to the micro-staging device to reduce the burden of communications on the user information handling system to retrieve the pre-fetched workflow data from within the mesh WLAN network; wherein the contextual policy determines the workflow data to be pre-fetched according to; identification of a project associated with the pre-fetch request; and identification of the workflow data associated with the project. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
