Claim:
1. A method to redirect local storage for embedded applications, the method comprising: detecting a delivery of an application from a server; intercepting the delivery of the application; determining whether sufficient local storage is available on one or more devices intended to receive the application; in response to a determination that the one or more devices intended to receive the application do not have sufficient local storage, replacing a reference to client-side storage associated with the application with a network-attached storage link; delivering the application with the replaced reference to the one or more devices; detecting subsequent requests from the one or more devices to receive the application or portions of the application from the server; automatically directing the subsequent requests to network-attached storage through the network-attached storage link to retrieve the application or the portions of the application without connecting to the server; and delivering the retrieved application or the portions of the application from the network-attached storage to the one or more devices through the network-attached storage link, wherein retrieval and delivery of the application and the portions of the application is transparent to the one or more devices and the server.
