Abstract
Data is transferred over a network having many image data processing systems (101, 102). A high bandwidth network (121) is connected to each of the data processing systems and to each of several storage systems (111, 112). Each of the storage systems is operated under the direct control of one of the processing systems. A request is issued from a first processing system to access a data storage system controlled by a second processing system over a low bandwidth network (151). A bandwidth assessment process assesses an extent to which the second processing system requires access to its local storage system. The first processing system is given access to the second storage system if an assessment is made to the effect that local access requirements are identified as being below a predetermined threshold.
