Abstract:
1. A method for providing Hybrid On Demand (HOD) software and data services to a plurality of normal nodes associated with a work unit, the method comprising: providing a first set of normal nodes which are connected to a local area network (LAN) of the work unit with at least one of software and data services from a local node connected to the LAN, the local node acting as the parent node of the first set of normal nodes connected to the LAN; providing a second set of normal nodes which are outside of the LAN with at least one of software and data services from a SUPR node outside the LAN using a wide area network, the SUPR node acting as the parent node of the second set of normal nodes outside the LAN; determining whether a connection between the local node and the SUPR node is present; regardless of the presence of the connection, synchronizing the at least one of software and data services between the local node and the first set of normal nodes connected to the LAN; and upon determining that the connection between the local node and the SUPR node is present, synchronizing the at least one of software and data services between the local node and the SUPR node and mirroring the synchronized at least one of software and data services on all normal nodes associated with the work unit.
