Abstract
An example device for image transfer can include a memory device, a service cubby to house a computing device and coupled to the memory device, a controller coupled to the memory device. The controller can retrieve, from the memory device, an image requested for transfer to the computing device in the memory device, perform an integrity check on the image, and transfer, via a local network of the device, the image to the computing device while the computing device is coupled to the service cubby.
Claims15
A device;
- comprising:
- a memory device;
- a service cubby to house a computing device and coupled to the memory device;
- and
- a controller coupled to the memory device to:
- retrieve, from the memory device, an image requested for transfer to the computing device in the memory device;
- perform an integrity check on the image;
- and
- transfer, via a local network of the device, the image to the computing device while the computing device is coupled to the service cubby.
A device, comprising:
- a memory device;
- a plurality of service cubbies, wherein each one of the plurality of service cubbies facilitates physical storage of one of a plurality of a computing devices and is coupled to the memory device;
- and
- a controller to:
- responsive to coupling of a first computing device of the plurality of computing devices to the device, store on the memory device an existing image of the first computing device;
- retrieve from the memory device a new image for transfer to the first computing device;
- perform an integrity check of the new image;
- transfer, via a local network of a first service cubby of the plurality of service cubbies, the new image to the first computing device while the computing device is in the first service cubby;
- and
- remove the existing image of the first computing device and the new image from the memory device after a threshold time period.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive a request for transfer of an image including user and device configuration information to a computing device,
- wherein the image is stored in the non-transitory machine-readable medium for a threshold period of time;
- perform an integrity check of the image:
- responsive to a positive integrity check result, transfer the image to the computing device over a local network of a service cubby housing the computing device,
- wherein the local network couples the non-transitory machine-readable medium to the computing device;
- responsive to a negative integrity check result, abort the image transfer;
- and
- remove the image from the non-transitory machine-readable medium upon passage of the threshold period of time.
