1. A method comprising:
- providing a persistent common view of data, services, and infrastructure functions accessible via a plurality of shared storage systems of a virtual shared storage system, wherein the services accessible via the plurality of shared storage systems are stateless services;
applying different governance policies at two or more shared storage systems of the virtual shared storage system; and
transferring content from a particular shared storage system of the virtual shared storage system to a requesting device without using at least one of a server session, an application-to-server session, and an application session, wherein the content corresponds to at least one of data, a service, and an infrastructure function provided via the particular shared storage system, wherein, when the content transferred to the requesting device corresponds to a particular service provided via the particular shared storage system, the requesting device instantiates an instance of the particular service at the requesting device, wherein information associated with use of the particular service, a state of the particular service, and a security level of the particular service are not retained at the requesting device after the instance of the particular service is terminated, and wherein use of the particular service at the requesting device does not modify the particular service stored at the particular shared storage system.

Abstract
A method providing a persistent common view of data, services, and infrastructure functions accessible via a plurality of shared storage systems of a virtual shared storage system. The method includes applying different governance policies at two or more shared storage systems of the virtual shared storage system. The method includes transferring content from a particular shared storage system to a requesting device without using at least one of a server session, an application-to-server session, and an application session. The content corresponds to at least one of data, a service, and an infrastructure function provided via the particular shared storage system.

9. A system comprising:
a control device communicatively coupled to a plurality of shared storage systems, wherein the control device is configured to; provide a persistent common view of data, services, and infrastructure functions accessible via the plurality of shared storage systems, wherein the services accessible via the plurality of shared storage systems are stateless services; apply different governance policies at two or more shared storage systems of the plurality of shared storage systems; and transfer content from a first shared storage system of the plurality of shared storage systems to a requesting device without using at least one of a server session, an application-to-server session, and an application session, wherein the content corresponds to at least one of data, a service, and an infrastructure function provided via the first shared storage system, wherein, when the content transferred to the requesting device corresponds to a particular service provided via the particular shared storage system, the requesting device instantiates an instance of the particular service at the requesting device, wherein the particular service is one of a media streaming service, a collaboration application, an instant messaging application, and a communication application, and wherein information associated with use of the particular service, a state of the particular service, and a security level of the particular service are not retained at the requesting device after the instance of the particular service is terminated. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
provide a persistent common view of data, services, and infrastructure functions accessible via a plurality of shared storage systems of a virtual shared storage system, wherein the services accessible via the plurality of shared storage systems are stateless services; apply different governance policies at two or more shared storage systems of the virtual shared storage system; transfer content from a first shared storage system to a requesting device without using at least one of a server session, an application-to-server session, and an application session, wherein the content corresponds to at least one of data, a service, and an infrastructure function provided via the first shared storage system, wherein, when the content transferred to the requesting device corresponds to a particular service provided via the particular shared storage system, the requesting device instantiates an instance of the particular service at the requesting device, and wherein information associated with use of the particular service, a state of the particular service, and a security level of the particular service are not retained at the requesting device after the instance of the particular service is terminated; and modify the particular service stored at the particular shared storage system while the instance of the particular service is instantiated at the requesting device, wherein use of the particular service by the requesting device is not affected by the modification of the particular service. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
